## Text matching with Turnitin CPF

Turnitin CPF (Canvas Plagiarism Framework) is used to assess electronic assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. Submissions are matched against a database of texts for similarity. It provides a 'Turnitin similarity score' on matching text but does not directly check plagiarism.

CPF refers to Canvas Plagiarism Framework, a streamlined way to integrate Turnitin's plagiarism-checking technology into Canvas assignments while using Canvas's built-in tools for marking and feedback

The Turnitin CPF text-matching service can also educate students on appropriate citation, referencing and paraphrasing techniques.

## Using Turnitin CPF

Turnitin CPF is available when creating an Asssignment in Canvas with the 'Submission Type' of 'Online'.

To view a Turnitin similarity score on a submitted assignment, access 'SpeedGrader'. From an individual Canvas assignment, a link to Speedgrader is in the righthand side menu under 'Related Items'.
