Turnitin Feedback Studio helps instructors support academic integrity and streamline assignment feedback by checking student work for similarity and enabling efficient, high‑quality commenting workflows. It provides similarity checking and instructor‑focused feedback tools within Canvas, and serves as the University of Miami’s planned functional replacement for SafeAssign. Feedback Studio includes robust similarity reports, reusable QuickMarks, rubrics, inline annotations, and voice comments to help instructors deliver consistent, meaningful feedback efficiently.
