After the content is linked, you will see the following window when launching the assignment as an instructor. There will be three options:

  • Unlink: unlink the content from this assignment so you can assign it to another assignment in this class if needed. Once the content is unlinked, the learners’ grades will be archived and not visible from the monitor page. They will need to complete the activity again in the new assignment to gain their grades.
  • Preview: Preview the content that is linked to this assignment.
  • Monitor: Open the monitor page for this assignment for you to review and adjust learners’ grades. Please see the next section for more information.

Turnitin for Canvas LTI 1.3

MiraCosta College has an unlimited license to Turnitin, GradeMark, and Peer Review, and Turnitin is available within Canvas. No separate login or password is required for faculty or students. You have two options for how to use Turnitin with Canvas.

The primary difference between the two is that the Turnitin LTI 1.3 integration is best used if faculty prefer to use Turnitin for grading and feedback; the Turnitin Plagiarism Framework is preferred by faculty who want Turnitin for plagiarism prevention but like to use the Canvas grading and feedback tools.

Create a Turnitin LTI 1.3 Assignment in MCC Canvas:

  1. Click on Assignments from the course navigation menu.
  2. Click on the 3 Dots Assignment Settings button.
  3. Click on Turnitin in the menu.

Turnitin Canvas LTI 1.3 Resources

Testing a Turnitin Assignment with your MCC Sample Student

Turnitin is an LTI tool that is globally installed on our Canvas system. LTI tools are not native to Canvas so they will not work in the internal Canvas Student View. You must log off of Canvas, as an instructor, then log on with your MCC Sample Student account. Now you will be able to experience a Turnitin assignment within your Canvas course as a student.

Turnitin Canvas Plagiarism Framework

Turnitin Plagiarism Framework is available within Canvas and offers a tighter integration between a Canvas assignment and Turnitin than the Turnitin 1.3 LTI Canvas integration. No separate login or password is required for faculty or students.

The primary difference between the two tools is that the Turnitin LTI 1.3 integration is best used if faculty prefer to use Turnitin for grading and feedback; the Turnitin Plagiarism Framework is preferred by faculty who want Turnitin for plagiarism prevention but like to use the Canvas grading and feedback tools.

Downloading Zoom Recordings and more….

Beginning October 2, 2025, all Zoom recordings created between 2017 and July 31, 2024, will be automatically deleted in accordance with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office directive. It is advised to download all Zoom recordings that you would like to keep prior to this date and hosting those Zoom recordings on an alternate media server.

Step 1: Download the Zoom recording files.

View a webinar by Jill Ringer that will walk you through the Zoom download process.

View a handout on how to download Zoom recordings.

Step 2: Upload your Zoom recording files to a streaming media service.

Canvas Studio

This option is integrated directly in Canvas. At this time we do not have any storage limits so this is the most ideal and probably easiest place to store your Zoom recordings. For future zoom recordings you can even have those recordings automatically upload to Canvas Studio.

Canvas Studio

Here are some guides that will walk you through the process of uploading video files & using Canvas Studio.

Zoom Connection to Canvas Studio

Canvas Studio supports an integration with Zoom that allows Zoom to automatically upload future recorded meetings into Studio. Here is how you can authorize the Studio Zoom integration in your Canvas Studio Settings.

Zoom Video Migration FAQs

How do I ensure that the video captions also migrate?

If downloading the video to your computer and saving it to One Drive, make sure to also save the .cc.vtt file and add it to the MP4 file.

Canvas Studio generates auto captions to all Zoom videos uploaded to its library. Be sure to review the captions for accuracy.
