Turnitin provides plagiarism (originality) checking and grading feedback through its Feedback Studio.
Turnitin uses technology to look for similar online content, signs of contract cheating (having others complete assignments), unusual variations in writing style, and many other criteria that may indicate the content came from someone else.
Turnitin cannot determine if cheating has occurred. It simply provides information and flags content that may require additional attention. It is up to the instructor to make any judgements.
Additionally, Feedback Studio provides a quick way to grade and comment on students’ papers. Drag-and-drop QuickMarks, text comments or an audio note of up to three-minutes long are available.
DETI strongly recommends using Turnitin through the eLearning@UNG (D2L) Assignments tool. If there is a need to access and use the service from outside of D2L, a Turnitin account can be created.
