What's New? July 2025

Updated on

On 25 July 2025, a new version of Brightspace was rolled out on the production environment (20.25.07). Below you can read what the changes are in this release.

Note: Turnitin replaces Ouriginal from 1 September

Radboud University is switching from Ouriginal to Turnitin. From 1 September 2025 Ouriginal will no longer be available. This means that plagiarism reports can no longer be viewed either. For the upcoming testing period, Ouriginal can still be used but we recommend preparing courses with Turnitin from 1 August. For further questions, please contact the TIP of your faculty. Manuals will be made available soon. Read more...

Two manuals for Turnitin are now available:

  1. How do I use Turnitin in Brightspace? Activities | Assignments
