Academic integrity solution provider Turnitin has introduced Turnitin Clarity, a paid add-on for Turnitin Feedback Studio that provides a composition workspace for students with educator-guided AI assistance, AI-generated writing feedback, visibility into integrity insights, and more.
Utilizing an institution's existing Turnitin workflow, students can access writing assignments within Turnitin Clarity, including instructions, grading rubric, and expectations around the use of generative AI, and write and edit their submission over multiple sessions, the company explained in a news announcement. Instructors can enable the tool's optional AI writing assistant feature to allow students to use AI according to course policies.
In turn, instructors can view a student's entire writing process, such as pasted text, typing patterns, construction time, and draft history, including any potential use of AI. "When enabled, educators can … see where and how students may have used AI tools, and provide guidance based on their usage," the company said. "This will help provide information to determine whether the students’ work meets the institution and assignment’s integrity standards."
"Turnitin Clarity serves as a bridge between students and educators," said Chief Product Officer Annie Chechitelli, in a statement. "Students will need to use AI in their future careers. With Turnitin Clarity, educators can begin to understand how students use it and identify ways to incorporate it into their writing, without hindering their academic progress."
