Why do we use Turnitin? To reduce unoriginal writing To save time To increase the depth and quantity of our feedback To map student progression To lose our own excuses for lost
Reduce unoriginal writing/plagiarism A US study of one-third of all U.S. higher education institutions found that over a five-year *This report analyzes the full population of Turnitin customers at non-profit, higher education institutions in the United States that began using the service before January 1, 2011 and remained a customer through January 1, 2013 https://spahp.creighton.edu/sites/spahp.creighton.edu/files/Turnitin_Effectiveness_HE.pdf

Measuring levels of original content
Saving time
Saving time * ..reduced their grading time by 31 percent on average compared to traditional pen and paper methods of grading. If a typical paper traditionally takes 20 minutes to grade, instructors using Turnitin could grade it in 14 minutes, saving 6 minutes per paper. Projecting this by the eight million digitally-graded papers in this study would equate to 48 million minutes. Thats 800,000 hours or 33,333 days or 91 years! *Turnitin, 2016
Increasing the depth and quantity of our feedback
Student engagement with feedback * Instructors reported a 46 percent increase in student engagement with online graded papers. With their marks more legible and the feedback more thorough, students spend more time reading and digesting instructor feedback and responding to it. A Turnitin feature that indicates whether or not a student has reviewed the instructor feedback on the paper strengthens student engagement. .. *Turnitin, 2016

Thats all lovely but I dont think Ill bother because. I can mark quicker on paper... ...but this view is certainly not one we share, and is not one supported by 1000s of teachers worldwide - so perhaps it is fear of the unknown holding you back? I teach Maths/Chemistry and Turnitin wont work... ...except in the following Chem Depts: Warwick, UCL, Nottingham, Kings, University of Surrey ...and the following Maths Depts: Bath Uni, York Uni, Kings, University of Surrey Im not very good at technology If you can work your mobile phone, you can ROCK Turnitin. Is it very intuitive in the most part, and there is loads of online support, plus you can ask us, or any other Turnitin clan members...

What next for our department? Last year - marked using comments only This year - marking using QuickMark and Gradebook Next year - marking using QuickMark, Gradebook and rubrics
..Digital submission holds promise for how we measure and improve student performance. For the first time, institutions can maintain an online portfolio of their students work to help tailor learning, uncover trends and improve the performance of both instructors and students. Terms like differentiated and one-to-one are surfacing from practices made possible by online submission and technologies that can distill meaning from all this informationoften called Big Data..
