Empower Students to Do Their Best, Original Work.   

Turnitin automatically evaluates and grades papers eliminating the need for instructors to grade them. Turnitin matches text similarity and checks for multiple forms of plagiarism and teaches students the value of academic integrity, proper attribution, and authentic writing. 

Built into Canvas LMS

With Turnitin's Plagiarism Framework, teachers receive a Turnitin similarity report on their student submissions while continuing to use Canvas's built-in tools for rubrics, feedback, peer review and scoring. Incorporating the Plagiarism Framework into a Canvas assignment is quick and easy and without the need to learn a whole new suite of tools to support grading.

Digital Framework Connections:

The SAMR model, developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura (see more here), reminds us to think about ways to use technology to redefine tasks and add functions that could not be done without the technology, rather than substitutions all the time. Below are some ways Adobe Creative Express can be used at each stage of the SAMR Model. 

• Substitution: Assignments completed online, just like the paper versions​ that were previously completed in class, but teacher tries to cross-check against plagiarism.

• Augmentation: Students digitally submit assignments​, and can choose to resubmit an assignment.

• Modification: Students digitally submit assignments​, and can choose to resubmit an assignment but can leverage tool to provide immediate feedback on grammar, spelling and citations.

• Redefinition: Students leverage Draft CoachTM in Google Docs when completing assignments online and helps students improve their academic writing and research skills by providing instant feedback where they write.
