Turnitin Comparison across Ontario Universities
From OUCEL Wiki
Institution | Contact Person | Turnitin Usage (y/n) | Integration into LMS? (Y/N) | Supported? | HelpDesk Access courses? | Confidentiality Agreement? | |
University of Windsor | Lorie Stolarchuk | No - Moved to Blackboard in Fall 2015, which has SafeAssign integrated | No | NA | NA | NA | |
OCAD | Andrew McAllister | Only in 2006, then discontinued. Note: Note: The institution decided that it needed to provide more positive leadership for students on how to avoid plagiarism rather than providing hard penalties. There was a concern about the Patriot Act as well. | - | - | - | - | - |

Carleton University | Patrick Lyons | - | - | - | - | - | - |
University of Ottawa | Mark Gareau | - | - | - | - | - | - |
Lakehead University | Leslie Malcolm | - | - | - | - | - | - |
Brock University | Matt Clare | Yes | Yes | Supported by the Centre for Pedagogical Innovation | Has never encountered a problem where Turnitn HelpDesk has needed access to a course. | As such, Brock does not have an addendum to the confidentiality agreement (yet) | |
Queen's University | Nancy Owen | - | - | - | - | - | |
Trent University | Mary Jane Pilgrim | - | - | - | - | - | - |
University of Guelph | Richard Gorrie | no | - | - | - | - | |

University of Waterloo | Paul Kates | - | - | - | - | - | |
Wilfrid Laurier University | Sandy Hughes, Mary Scott | Yes | Yes (Desire2Learn) – users can also access the Turnitin site and functionality directly. | Up until now the Office of Teaching Support Services has provided all the support to faculty, and has been the ones to contact the Turnitin Helpdesk with anything that couldn't solve. Now the license allows individual users to access the Turnitin Helpdesk directly. This has not been announced to the users, and so the Office of Teaching Support Services will probably continue to be the first line of support who may use this more in future. | There is a dedicated 'Turnitin Support' account (with instructor role access) in Desire2Learn which is added to a course where help from Turnitin is needed. The Office provides the login and password, and login location to Turnitin when this is necessary. | Note: No answer for this one, as they don't believe there is any turnitin-related information which relates to FIPPA for them | |
Ryerson University | Restiani Andriati, Donna Bell | Yes | Yes (Blackboard 9.0) | User reports to the Ryerson Helpdesk. Depending on the nature of the problem, it may be forwarded to the Ryerson Bb specialist team (DMP) for resolution. If Ryerson’s Bb specialists’ team cannot resolve it, it will be forwarded to Turnitin Helpdesk. | Some trouble-shooting requires Turnitin tech support access to the course in Ryerson LMS. It has never been granted, still awaiting for the Confidentiality Agreement between Ryerson and Turnitin to be agreed upon. | Work in progress | |
University of Western Ontario | Wendy Crocker and Yasmien Mills | - | - | - | - | - | - |
Laurentian University | Johanne Rioux | - | - | - | - | - | |
Nipissing University | Kyle Charron | - | - | - | - | - | - |
Dominican University College | Francois Demers | - | - | - | - | - | - |
Canadian Defence Academy, Royal Military College | Mathieu Leblond, Marion McKeown | Yes | WebCT | RMC to support | Only had to ask Turnitin Helpdesk to expunge one section so there have been no problems with privacy so far. | The legal relationship concerning privacy and intellectual property is slightly different from most as all students are employees of the Crown. | - |

McMaster University | Leila Bastedo | - | - | - | - | - | - |
