Turnitin is an "originality checker" platform and service available within Canvas. When students submit assignments electronically, Turnitin will compare the text against billions of other documents on the Internet, including papers submitted by other students around the world and in commercial databases of journal articles and periodicals. Whenever similarities between the text in a student's paper and the text in an existing document are found, Turnitin highlights those similarities, providing an annotated "Similarity Report" showing both the student's paper and the original source.
In this workshop, we'll review the latest updates to Turnitin’s AI Indicator including improved detection capabilities and the Similarity Report. We'll also demonstrate the AI Indicator in action, discuss how to integrate or mitigate student usage of ChatGPT, and share examples of policies and best practices.
