Turnitin Assignment feedback guide

Turnitin Feedback Studio for iPad allows lecturers to use Turnitin's Feedback Studio features to mark students' submissions on and offline from their iPad. The Turnitin Feedback Studio for iPad app is only available for use by staff. Students cannot use the app to submit their assignments as they access Turnitin from Moodle and not directly through the TurnitinUK.com website. 

Lecturers can use the app to view Similarity reports and to add QuickMarks, voice and text comments. The app can also be used to grade submissions using rubrics or grading forms.

Assignments can be synced to your iPad to allow marking on and offline and it is easy to switch between using Turnitin on your computer or laptop and your iPad.
