Enabling Handwritten Assignments
Handwritten Assignments are an assignment type included in the Paper to Digital add-on.
Once Paper to Digital is made available to your institution, the Handwritten Assignment type is enabled by default. In your account settings, you will see the Paper to Digital option checked in the Allow these features section.
If you do not see Paper to Digital as an option for your account, contact your Turnitin sales representative for assistance.
Disabling Handwritten Assignments
If you don’t want the Handwritten Assignment type enabled for your institution, you can uncheck the Paper to Digital option in the Allow these features section of your account settings.
How do my instructors create and manage Handwritten Assignments?
Once Paper to Digital is enabled for your institution's account, the Handwritten Assignment type will be listed as an option on the Turnitin assignment creation page for Instructors. Handwritten Assignments launch in the Paper to Digital app.
Creating, grading, and publishing grades is all done in the Paper to Digital app. Grade Passback is available between Paper to Digital and your LMS. Administrators can direct instructors to our Handwritten Assignments guidance which includes Creating a Handwritten Assignment and Grading a Handwritten assignment.
