Turnitin is an external assessment tool with which Aula integrates via the LTI. Turnitin offers a few different types of integrations depending on different services which you can see outlined here.
Educators may primarily have had previous experiences with the Moodle Direct V2 integration version. Aula, and many other platforms, use the LTI integration version which means that things may look a little different to what some educators have gotten used to.
Below, you can find a table of Turnitin's features and what these look like between the LTI and Moodle Direct V2 version.
