[Building Sakai] turnitin2 and assignments

[Steven Githens]

Hello once more,

Starting today there should be a public beta of Turnitin 2 that is open 
to all existing accounts.  We should just be able to go to 
beta.turnitin.com to try it out.

To test the beta with Sakai integration, the integration URL to change 
to is:  https://beta.turnitin.com/api.asp

Everything done through the beta will not be saved.

I'm planning on testing this out with our code later today or tomorrow.

Cheers,
Steve
