Requirements
Clarity assignments are only available for LTI 1.3 integrations and Turnitin web. If your institution isn’t currently using an LTI 1.3 integration, you’ll need to either update or set up an LTI 1.3 integration for your LMS environment.
- For Canvas, view our guidance on Configuring Feedback Studio in self-hosted or open-source Canvas LTI 1.3 and Configuring Turnitin in a Canvas-hosted environment in our Canvas Migration Hub.
- For more LMS guidance, view Turnitin in an LMS: Canvas.
Enabling Clarity assignments
Once Clarity is made available to your institution, the Clarity assignment is enabled by default. In your account settings, you will see the Clarity assignment option checked in the Assignment Settings section.
If you do not see the Clarity assignment option for your account, contact your Turnitin sales representative for assistance.
Once enabled, instructors will see the Clarity assignment as an option on the Turnitin assignment creation page. Instructors can create, view, and grade the final submission within Turnitin’s Feedback Studio.
Disabling Clarity assignments
If you don’t want Clarity assignments enabled for your institution, you can deselect the Clarity assignment option in the Assignment Settings section of your account settings.
