A global administrator can integrate Turnitin with your PebblePad installation to provide Turnitin's similarity reporting and feedback studio tools with ATLAS.
Turnitin is a separately licensed product to be purchased by your institution.
Installation
The IT Engineer who sets up the PebblePad integration with Turnitin will need:
- A Turnitin account with administrator permissions.
- A PebblePad account with administrator permissions.
1. Obtain Turnitin details
- Log in to Turnitin with your administration account.
- Follow the Turnitin guide to obtain:
- Account ID

- Shared secret
2. Enable Turnitin in PebblePad
- Log in to PebblePad with an administrator account.
- From the Pebble+ burger menu, choose Additional services > Administration.
- Click the Settings tab.
- Scroll to the Enterprise options panel.
- Tick Enable Turnitin.
- Click Update.
3. Set up in ATLAS

4. Set up default settings
The settings can be applied as to how Turnitin handles storing submissions and running similarity reports. These will cascade from organisation level to:
- Region
- Workspace
It is possible to set region-specific defaults, and any workspace created within this region will inherit these permissions - not the organisational defaults.
Turnitin can also be disabled at a region level if it is not required.
