You may have noticed that a second Turnitin logo has recently appeared in the Content Market within Blackboard. This new icon is blue, in contrast to the original red and blue logo. We’ve been in contact with Turnitin to clarify its purpose, as both logos appear to be linked to our current LTI 1.3 integration.
While Turnitin has not provided a definitive explanation for the appearance of the second logo, they have advised us to continue using the original red and blue icon. This version is connected to historical submissions and ensures continuity across existing assessments. To avoid confusion, we have labelled the blue logo with a “Do Not Use” tag.
If you have already created submission points using the blue icon, please don’t worry—these will remain active and unaffected, and students will not notice any difference. However, moving forward, please ensure that all new Turnitin submission points are created using the red and blue logo.
Additionally, you may see a new tool called the Turnitin Paper Lookup Tool. This feature is designed to help you access historical submissions more easily. We will share further guidance on how to use this tool in due course.
