What plugins can be deployed at the same time? I cannot get the LTI 1.3 version working, it says existing deployment. We currently have Draft Coach, Moodle Direct, LTI API, running and LTI 1.3 is active but moodle cannot connect.

This is an unfortunate development decision. One of the advantages is that the plugin is a very scalable solution for school and programs that operate multiple sections of a course. LTI requires additional manual set up after a course is copied - in every copy - that must be identical in order for it to function correctly and in accordance with how staff and students are trained to utilize the capabilities.
This is the 2nd recent development decision that has significantly impacted the ability for the TII product to be used effectively at scale. The first being the removal of the permissions of an instructor to make bulk uploads without assigning a student account manually to each individual upload.
These factors will have customers looking for other products that are better suited to meet scalability constraints. -
Hello, I'm wondering if the webinar about this migration was recorded, or if a future webinar will be? Due to time zone differences the last one was at 5am my time so I was unable to attend, but i'd appreciate being able to watch and learn about the process

Hello,
We have been testing the new LTI 1.3 in preparation for migrating from Turnitin Direct V2. While we are largely happy with the change, we have found a couple of features that we use that do not seem to be possible in the new LTI that are causing us some concern.
One of the most significant is the use of groups in Moodle. We have very large classes that are split into marking groups, where a module tutor will only see the submissions from the group they are assigned to mark. We do not seem to be able to turn on 'Separate groups' for an assignment created with the new LTI. I have searched the Turnitin documentation and can find no reference to this. I have also tried a few options found on Moodle forums but I have been unable to enable groups for the new LTI. This will cause significant issue for marking in our large classes, especially as the search function within the assignment inbox is limited.
Is there a way to enable Moodle groups to be used in the new LTI? If not currently, is this a feature that is coming soon?
Thank you,
Best wishes,
Caroline
