Administrator Training
Viewing Account Statistics
From time-to-time, and especially at the end of each semester or term, Turnitin administrators should review their usage statistics. Usage statistics are available for each Turnitin account and sub-account.
To access account statistics, from the administrator's homepage, simply click on the stats icon for an account.
The default view displays the previous month’s usage statistics for the account. This can be changed to view usage statistics for a specific period of time by changing the start and end date range and clicking the Update Statisitcs button.
If the account selected is a consortium level account, all schools within this account will be shown. The account names can be clicked to view the lower level accounts. When you click on an account name the instructors joined to the account will be shown in a list. Clicking on the name of an instructor will display statistics for the courses this instructor has created under the account that is being viewed.
Account statistics can be saved to your computer by clicking on the Export to Excel button. These can be read in Microsoft Excel or another compatible spreadsheet program.
Currently tracked usage statistics include:
- Students - the number of unique students (a student with a unique UID) enrolled in active classes.
- Instructors - the number of unique instructors (an instructor that has a unique UID) joined to the account who have a non-QuickSubmit class that was active during the selected time range or who have signed in during the selected time range.
