Use Turnitin Wisely: Read to know more

In essence, Turnitin is an essential tool for supporting academic integrity by helping writers understand where their work aligns with existing material. However, it requires thoughtful interpretation and should be used proactively to enhance, rather than judge, the quality and originality of a piece of writing.

Turnitin is often misunderstood as a plagiarism detector, but its core function is to serve as a similarity checker. It is designed to identify similarities between a submitted document and other works in its database, which includes academic papers, web content, and student submissions.

Discussion on "Academic Integrity: The Way Forward with AI"

Turnitin, which has provided the world’s most adopted writing-to-learn products to more than 16000 institutions across 140 countries, would like to invite you to a discussion on "Academic Integrity: The Way Forward with AI", to commemorate the IDOA International Day of Action(18th October) for Academic Integrity.

 

While we are working towards imbibing a culture of Academic Integrity, the latest concern seems to be coming in from the insurgence of Artificial Intelligence in the field of education. The recent use of large language models (LLMs) in generating content has divided Academia in terms of its impact on Academic Integrity and original writing.

 

Join us on November 2, 2023 (Friday) at 3:00 PM IST as we make an attempt to:

• GPT and its impact
