What is Turnitin?

Turnitin is home to a complete Web-based solution for managing writing intensive assignments through multiple phases of feedback and revisions. WriteCycle’s three interrelated services accelerate the learning process – involving students in their own development freeing instructors from the burden of tracking papers, promoting critical thinking and maintaining academic integrity. WriteCycle tools streamline the workflow challenges that bog down the learning process in writing assignments, resulting in a greater number of “aha” moments that enrich learning.

Turnitin Originality Checking allows educators to check students' work for improper citation or potential plagiarism by comparing it against continuously updated databases. Every Originality Report provides instructors with the opportunity to teach their students proper citation methods as well as to safeguard their students' academic integrity. The patented Peer Reviewing tool that is included with WriteCycle gives instructors the ability to create peer review assignments that students use to evaluate and learn from one another's work. These assignments provide a unique and valuable framework for students to develop critical thinking and writing skills. GradeMark is an innovative paperless grading tool that allows instructors to leave the days of red ink and stacks of papers behind. GradeMark is a time-saving alternative to traditional pen and paper grading, making it easy for instructors to give students the valuable, time sensitive feedback that is so essential for building quality writing skills.
