Turnitin is an online system that helps you to manage the submission of assignments and coursework.
It allows you and your students to check written work for referencing omissions, citation issues, and
potential instances of plagiarism. At MIC students and staff access Turnitin through Moodle, our
virtual learning environment (VLE).
In addition to using Turnitin to check the originality of students’ written work, it can also be used to
assign grades and communicate feedback. The collective term used to refer to Turnitin's grading and
feedback functions is Feedback Studio. Within Feedback Studio you can grade students’ work and
choose to use any, or all, of the following feedback options:
- Feedback Summary: For communicating a general text or audio feedback comment.
- QuickMarks: For communicating detailed inline feedback.
- Rubrics: A grading and feedback system that uses scorecards to evaluate work based on
defined criteria and scales.
- Grading forms: Allow you to create a rubric with a list of criteria containing free response text
fields and the option to score each criterion.
