Instructors and students are most familiar with Turnitin as a plagiarism prevention tool. Many miss the opportunity to use Turnitin as a teaching tool to really engage students and provide them with meaningful feedback.

OriginalityCheck is an opportunity for instructors to connect with students to show them proper citation, to identify motivations for improper citation, and to address academic integrity. In other words, it gives instructors a teaching moment.

PeerMark peer review service allows students to evaluate and learn from one another's work. PeerMark provides an opportunity for students to develop critical thinking and writing skills through collaboration.

 

GradeMark online grading service empowers instructors to give students meaningful and legible feedback, not confined to red ink scrawled in the margins of a paper. By providing richer feedback, students can better apply that feedback to their writing.

With Turnitin, there are new opportunities to engage students, better ways to involve them in the writing process, better ways to help them internalize what they are taught.
