When you set up an Assignment Drop Box in Moodle you are able to upload a file back to students with feedback for grading purposes.
Assignments
Using the Turnitin Module
Moodle has a module that allows for basic use of Turnitin. This tutorial will walk you through the basics of Turnitin.
What file types can you submit via Turnitin?
You can set Turnitin to accept any file type in Settings > Optional Settings.
However, please be aware the different file types have limitations with Turnitin functionality.
For example, Excel files are able to be uploaded, but Turnitin only compares visible text. It does not look at formulas or hidden columns, and will likely not display properly in Feedback Studio when you go to mark it. Excel files must be made using Microsoft Excel and not a third party program that has the ability to save in the. XLSX format. Libre Office, Open Office, and more are not compatible with Turnitin and will not be accepted.
Creating an Assignment Drop Box in Moodle

Workshop Activity for Peer Assessment
