Turnitin

Turnitin is a plagiarism detection service that Pepperdine School of Law faculty may use when you submit a paper for grading. This service provides a detailed assessment of originality on any submitted work by performing a search for textual similarities to other works in academic journals, on the Internet, and within its own database of submitted work. For more information visit the University’s Turnitin Community page.

If you are required to use Turnitin you will need to complete the following steps: (1) enroll in the course and (2) submit your work. If you have never used Turnitin before, you will also need to create a free account. This can be done through the home page on their website.

Gmail: Email forwarding and Auto-Responder (Out of office message)

Have you ever wished you could just have all your email from a particular gmail account arrive in another email account? Or maybe you’re planning a trip and you want folks to understand that you’re not available during that time you’re away?

You should take a look at setting up email forwarding and/or an out of office message.

The below contents were pulled from Google Support as well as a couple of helpful YouTube links that you may find helpful in setting up your forwarding and out of office messages.

The easiest way is to do this on your computer — we recommend the Chrome browser but you can do it Explorer, Edge, and Firefox

Here are some step by step instructions:

Forwarding Function

Forwarding: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10957?hl=en
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpHes_HgPaA

Turn on automatic forwarding

  1. On your computer, open Gmail using the account you want to forward messages from. You can only forward messages for a single Gmail address, and not an email group or alias.
  2. In the top right, click Settings .
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.

Turn your vacation reply on or off

Set up your vacation reply

  2. In the top right, click Settings   Settings.
  3. Scroll down to the “Vacation responder” section.

Turn off your vacation reply

When your vacation reply is on, you’ll see a banner across the top of your inbox that shows the subject of your vacation response.

To turn off your vacation response, click End now.

When your vacation reply is sent

Your vacation reply starts at 12:00 AM on the start date and ends at 11:59 PM on the end date, unless you end it earlier.

In most cases, your vacation response is only sent to people the first time they message you.

Here are the times someone may see your vacation response more than once:

  • If the same person contacts you again after four days and your vacation reply is still on, they’ll see your vacation response again.
  • Your vacation response starts over each time you edit it. If someone gets your initial vacation response, then emails you again after you’ve edited your response, they’ll see your new response.
  • If you use Gmail through your work, school, or other organization, you can choose whether your response is sent to everyone or only people in your organization.

Note: Messages sent to your spam folder and messages addressed to a mailing list you subscribe to won’t get your vacation response.

Using Canned Responses in Gmail for multiple signatures

Did you know that Gmail will support multiple signature files?

This can come in handy when you are working with different teams or are responding to messages from a prospective employer.

You may need to put different information in your signature (block of text at the end of your email message) based upon the person or group with whom you are corresponding.

This is actually not in the signature functionality, it’s really kind of a cheat.  You employ the “Canned Responses” feature.  It works pretty well but you will be limited to using this in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge).

 

Setting up and using Canned Responses:

First, enable the Canned Responses feature

  1. Go to your Gmail Settings (gear icon upper right hand of the Gmail screen).
  2. Click on Settings.
  3. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the Settings screen
  4. Scroll down to Canned Responses (Templates)
  5. Select the Enable radio button.
  6. At the bottom of the page, click Save Changes.

Next, create a canned response (alternate signature)

  1. Compose an email message. This is just to create your canned response, you won’t be sending this message.
  2. Leave the To field blank (filled automatically with the recipient’s email address).
  3. Leave the Subject field blank (filled automatically with a reply to the recipient’s subject).
  4. At the bottom of your compose window – bottom right of the screen — there are three vertical dots these dots are the “More Options” button. Click here
  5. Select Canned Responses.
  6. Click New canned response.
  7. Enter an appropriate name for the response; e.g., “Signature A” to use for certain messages where you want this signature at the bottom of your messages.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Enter the wording for the canned response.
  10. Click Save.

Use a canned response (alternate signature) in a new message

  1. Compose an email message.
  2. Fill in the To field
  3. Fill in the Subject
  4. Type out your message, then hit return a few times to create a space for your canned response text
  5. Click on the “More Options” symbol (three vertical dots) in the lower right of your editing window.
  6. Select Canned Responses.
  7. Click on the Canned Response (alternate signature) you want and it will be inserted

First, a video introduction to Kronos 7:

The video is helpful, but still limited. So here are some recommended help-guides for more in-depth and user-specific reference (students and adjuncts take special note):

Panopto: Class Recording

Interested in recording your class? Panopto is Pepperdine University’s lecture capture system integrated into Courses by Sakai and will archive your course session recordings for up to five years.

Courses hosts the Panopto features which are automatically linked with Zoom’s recording features when accessed through Courses’ Zoom Pro Tool.

If you plan on recording your class more than once a semester, you can easily set this up through Zoom Recording.  The recordings you save with Zoom will be automatically saved to Panopto. Zoom recordings will only save videos for six months so Panopto acts as an automatic backup that saves videos where they can be accessed for much longer.

Videos can also be recorded and edited within Panopto. There are different recording options, such as:

  • Audio– all recordings capture audio by default
  • PowerPoint– records the presentation slides you show on the class computer by default
  • Video– available for classrooms with cameras, records the front of the room only
  • Primary Screen– records any applications you use on the class computer, such as  Documents, Web pages, Excel Files, Courses pages, etc.

For more specific informational videos on Panopto, please refer to the links under the “Faculty” heading of this page. If you have questions or assistance please reach out to us via support@law.pepperdine.edu and a member of the Information Services team will be glad to assist you.
