As a member of staff, there are several things you may need to know how to do using Turnitin. The way that you use Turnitin may be different depending on which faculty you are in. There are, however, several key areas of Turnitin that you may need to know about in order to successfully use Turnitin: managing assignments, similarity reports, and grademark (on PC and iPad). We have individual pages covering each of these main sections. Each page has a list of step-by-step guides which explain how to use each aspect of Turnitin. We have tried to provide step-by-step guides for the most common things you may need to do in Turnitin, but the list is not exhaustive.
| Do not open Turnitin in multiple tabs or browser windows. Only use one browser tab to interact with Turnitin. |
New GradeMark Interface
‘Feedback Studio’ – The interface for Turnitin’s GradeMark online marking tool and originality / similarity reports is known as ‘Feedback Studio’. Anyone using Turnitin through Blackboard will see this interface automatically.
Click the link above for further information on this interface, or click through our step by step guides in the sections below.
We recommend that users who are due to mark during Semester 1 read through the online guides in advance of any marking periods to familiarise themselves with the new interface.
If you have any queries about the feedback studio interface, please raise a call with Serviceline@soton.ac.uk
