Turnitin is an online resource for educators and students concerned with developing quality writing and research skills. They do this by:
- providing a reliable, efficient, and powerful deterrent to digital plagiarism
- hosting an online interface for convenient and innovative peer-to-peer review
- allowing for online grading with full contextual markup, use of rubrics, and quickmarks
- offering a gradebook with multiple scaling and grading options, comments, and assignment types
- providing instructors the ability to aggregate student works into digital portfolios
The Office of Technology-Enhanced Learning has licensed Turnitin accounts for the entire campus from January 2002-January 2006. Any faculty member, online
or on-campus, wishing to use this service should contact OTEL at 206-7360 to be added to the UIS Turnitin account.
