How do I download inline feedback in bulk from Turnitin.com?

Updated on

This article will explain you how you can download submissions and feedback in bulk for Turnitin Assignments. The following steps will be discussed:

You cannot download your inline feedback inserted via Feedback Studio in Brightspace. You need to download the submissions, your inline feedback and the similarity score from Turnitin.com if you want to store it locally.

Step 1: Log in to Turnitin.com

If you have never logged in to Turnitin.com before, make sure to check this article first.

Turnitin - Google Chrome
  1. Enter your email as presented in Brightspace
  2. Enter your password
  3. Click on Log in.

Step 2: Look for the Course Name of the Assignment

After you have logged in, you will see an overview of your classes that resemble courses in Brightspace, as shown below.

Click on the Class name of the course where you want to download submissions and feedback.

Cannot find the class you are looking for?
