Turnitin

“The adoption of Turnitin Feedback Studio was collaborative with faculty support. We realized that to be a globally recognized institution we need to catch up with integrity and quality in our academic writing.”

“Turnitin is directly involved in creating holistic and transformational education. It has created openness and transparent thesis supervision that was previously difficult to achieve. It also provides a comprehensive similarity check report which can be used to evaluate students’ work.”

“We can see where they have accessed their feedback,”

“With online students, I’m able to leave them a personalised voice message where I need to connect more personally,”

“Rubrics and Feedback Studio have led to consistency in application, ensuring all students are graded receiving similar feedback and to the same standards,”

“If you want to be more consistent, fair, and more transparent, as well as reduce time administratively marking and creating assignments, Turnitin is a game-changer.”

“By adopting Turnitin, we now have a tool to help students become self-aware of potential plagiarism whilst equipping them with the skills to write authentically and in their own words.”

“We went from 50% accuracy on category tagging as a program to almost 100% accuracy with the help of this Triple-Check Report.”

“Once we implemented Turnitin, we immediately saw the benefits to the entire NextEd community. Students are consistently equipped with the knowledge and skills to move through their education, and the rest of their lives, with academic integrity as a well-formed and well-understood foundation”

“The user interface in Gradescope is so easy and so natural and the learning curve is practically non-existent. Getting used to it is not an issue at all.”

“I consider the move to marking our exams specifically with Gradescope to be a huge success, both in terms of saving time, which is of course precious, but really about consistency and reliability of what we do for our students.”

“If I tried to go back to not using Gradescope at this point, I would be very unhappy about that.”

“I think once teachers try it and use it and see the benefits, they’re locked in for life, I mean Gradescope’s just that transformative.””

“I know I’m grading each exam blind, so I’m not biased by who the student is, and I know that I’m applying the same deductions for the same errors.”

“The time savings has been phenomenal. Professor Gehring says Gradescope “reduces grading time by over half.””

“Probably half of the timesaving is coming from using the AI to group things and identify what answers students selected and not having to grade each paper individually for each problem. I can grade multiple choice answers in 20-30 minutes for 170 exams.”

“saves teachers time, we’re not flipping pages, and you’re not having to go look up whether someone has used someone else’s ideas by typing it into Google. It’s all done for you. The time saved is great. It’s significant.”

“They don’t ask,” says Waters, “‘Can I have my marks back?’ if you’re using Feedback Studio. So it takes away all of that angst as well.”

“massive champions of Feedback Studio because they have to write essays on food and nutrition and movement. So they run all their stuff through Turnitin.”

“The scores definitely show an upward trend. The boys’ marks are getting better and their writing is better and they are citing more. We are seeing a [tangible] improvement in our grades.”

“Feedback Studio saves assignments in a database so they can’t use their siblings’ in future years. Students understand if they [plagiarize], they’re going to get caught and actions have consequences.”

““We could go paperless with Google Classroom or Microsoft with assignments. But then we thought, ‘Why don’t we address academic integrity and make sure that it’s meeting our school values of integrity and honesty?””

“Except for one university in New Zealand, the rest all use Turnitin. We’re trying to get our students ready for what they do next.”

“Turnitin complements our Academic Integrity training in mitigating academic misconduct. Specifically, Feedback Studio helps students learn how to attribute their work correctly. It also highlights to teachers the need to teach their students how to research and reference correctly. It also helps teachers when they need to make a case that a student has committed academic misconduct.”

“The feedback from teachers has been positive. They say that it makes grading faster and easier, and they like the flexibility of being able to do their marking from anywhere. Also, being online, it simplifies the process of returning graded assessments to students,”
