Turnitin Feedback Studio has been
redesigned and provides a new interface
and workflow process for both students and
instructors. The new interface is intended
to be more consistent in design, with a
focus on being more accessible for all
users, incorporating longstanding user
requests introducing data-driven
innovations to support academic
integrity.
Among the changes that the new Feedback
Studio includes are:
Revised Assignment Creation and
Management
- Assignment extensions for individual
students;
- Exclusion of templates provided to
students for completion from the
overall evaluation of
similarity;
- Regeneration of all similarity reports
for an assignment at one time;
- Feedback indicator presented to
students highlighting that feedback
has been provided and is available
with confirmation that feedback has
been accessed and reviewed for
instructors.
Similarity Reporting
- Similarity Reporting interface has
been completely revised enabling
easier and more accessible
interrogation of similarities
identified;
- Pinned feedback functionality to
assist instructors add and provide
feedback for students;
- Margin comments provides an enhanced
means of viewing and accessing
feedback for students;
- QuickMarks and comments may be colour
customised;
- Match groups functionality which
groups matches based on the usage of
citations and quotations.
Grading and Feedback
- Revised rubrics interface with an
improved means of adding, updating and
applying rubrics;
- Improved methods for importing and
exporting rubrics designed to
facilitate sharing across
colleagues;
- Facility to archive rubrics that are
no longer in use which reduces clutter
in the interface;
- Support added for decimal based
grades;
- Rubrics allow instructors to work with
grade ranges rather than discrete
values as before.
Features that are no longer supported by the
new Feedback Studio
Some ‘classic’ Feedback Studio features
are no longer supported within the new
interface and implementation of
Turnitin:
- Assignment date displays and
configuration within Moodle – as the
new Feedback Studio environment is
delivered in Moodle using LTI
(Learning Tools Operability), all the
Turnitin date and assignment
configuration information is managed
within the Turnitin interface. For
further information, see the article How
do I Create a
Turnitin assignment on my Course
Page?
- Colouring of Similarity Percentage has
been removed from the Student
Submissions overview: the similarity
identified continues to be displayed
in a percentage. However, as
similarity reports may be highly
context specific, the colour bands
used in ‘classic’ Feedback Studio are
removed. Percentages of identified
similarity are displayed on a neutral,
light blue, background;
- PeerMark – this is currently
unavailable while the interface is
being designed;
- Grading templates.
Features to be added in future updates
At the time of preparation in July 2025,
there are a number of planned enhancements
for the new Feedback Studio
including:
- Facility for students to preview their
uploads as part of the submission
process;
- Support for very large class sizes
(that is, classes receiving more than
1,000 submissions);
- Instructor’s capacity to save
assignment settings for future
use;
- Voice and video comments for
assignments.
The progress of these features can be
reviewed on the Turnitin
Feedback
Studio Roadmap [External
