Visualize the Experience

To get started, instructors are encouraged to explore Turnitin Feedback Studio within their Canvas sandbox course. Turnitin can be accessed in two ways: (1) directly within a Canvas assignment under the Plagiarism Review section, and (2) through the full application available in the “Assignments” area of Canvas. For the second option, once an assignment has been created, it can also be added to the Modules area to provide students with easier access. The images below demonstrate example views of Turnitin Feedback Studio.
