Teaching Online at UTAS

Turnitin and Grademark/Feedback Studio can work with a variety of file types. The table below indicates the types of files that students may submit, and whether these file types can generate an Originality Report (for plagiarism checking) and/or be viewed in Grademark/Feedback Studio (note that Feedback Studio combines both the Originality Report and Grademark views on one screen). Note that, to be submitted to Turnitin, a file must be no larger than 40MB.
