Their notification about this maintenance window states:
Users will be unable to submit and grade during this maintenance window, so please ensure that any submission deadlines are adjusted to fall outside of the window.
Turnitin provides a system status page which may contain updates about this outage.

For approximately 10 to 15 minutes around 1:00pm this afternoon Moodle was unavailable. The cause of the outage was quickly determined to be due to document conversion software that handles conversion of assignment submissions to PDF for purposes of annotation/grading. The PDF conversion and annotation features have been disabled indefinitely until the issues caused by the document conversion software can be resolved.
