This article outlines how to integrate Buzz with Turnitin using LTI 1.3.

Don't use these instructions if you have an existing LTI 1.1 Turnitin integration

If you have an existing LTI 1.1 integration with Turnitin, you must follow migration steps to upgrade to LTI 1.3 without losing access to past assignments or submissions.

How do I migrate from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3 for Turnitin integrations?

  2. Click LTI 1.3.
