Turnitin

Traditionally, Turnitin has referred to the plagiarism-checking tool used by Canyons School District and many other institutions across the country. Canyons used Turnitin  in conjuction with Canvas as a tool to assist teachers in grading papers.  Turnitin is now the name of a company that hosts the following writing tools: Revision Assistant, Feedback Studio and Scoring Engine. Canyons has purchased Feedback Studio as a tool to assist teachers identifying academic dishonesty and assigning peer reviews using PeerMark.

Feedback Studio

Feedback Studio was previously referred to as Turnitin, and it consists of the plagiarism checker that “talks” with Canvas assignment submissions. While the functions remain the same, Feedback Studio has an updated user interface and tools that are more user friendly than Turnitin Classic.
