Question
How can I get a Turnitin.com instructor account? How do I access Turnitin.com outside of D2L Brightspace?
Overview
If you HAVE previously used Turnitin within a D2L Brightspace Assignments folder, then you already have a Turnitin.com account.
If you HAVE NOT previously used Turnitin with a D2L Brightspace assignment folder, you have 2 options:

- You may want to use a course that is closed to students.
