Encourage Better Writing

Turnitin is a key component of WriteCycle, our complete collaborative writing solution that helps students build their writing skills and develop as thinkers and learners.

What is Turnitin WriteCycle?

The Turnitin WriteCycle. WriteCycle starts working when you set up your classes, make assignments and set dates for writing assignment milestones. Students can then turn in multiple drafts, submit assignments for originality checking, receive multiple rounds of feedback from peers or instructors, and submit final revisions and reflections.  WriteCycle can be adapted to your particular process for writing assignments, enabling students to receive more —and more frequent—feedback on their writing than typical paper processes allow.
