Turnitin is one of the most heavily used educational technologies at UH. However, many instructors use it only to determine if students have improperly used another author’s work without proper citation. With the release of Turnitin’s new Feedback Studio over the summer, there is a lot more that can be done with the platform to coach your students to become better writers.  In this session, we’ll dig deep into all the features that Turnitin Feedback Studio offers so that you can get the most out of a tool you probably already use.
