This article outlines how to migrate existing LTI 1.1 Turnitin integrations to LTI 1.3 without losing access to past assignments or submissions. If you have multiple LTI 1.1 Turnitin integrations, these steps have to be taken for each.

If you don't have an existing LTI 1.1 Turnitin integration, you don't need to follow the steps outlined here. Instead, use this article:  How do I integrate Buzz with Turnitin (LTI 1.3)?

LTI 1.1 support for Turnitin integrations to be deprecated

In 2019, 1EdTech announced that its LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage specifications, which provide additional functionality and security, would replace the LTI 1.1 specification.

Support for Turnitin integrations using LTI 1.1 will be phased out according to the following schedule:

  • June 30, 2026: Turnitin ends support for LTI 1.1 integration with Buzz.
  • December 31, 2026: Turnitin entirely deprecates LTI 1.1 integrations with Buzz.
