Turnitin Academy Live is a series of highly interactive online professional development sessions geared toward taking instructors beyond just plagiarism prevention and toward a powerful pedagogy for 'writing to learn.' Each one-hour session explores practical methods and activities of using Turnitin in the instructional process to:
- Encourage original writing and the responsible use of source material
- Deliver richer and more meaningful feedback
- Facilitate the "peer factor” in peer review activities
There's no cost to participate in these valuable professional development webinars. Pre-registered participants will receive certificates of completion.
