Turnitin Plagiarism App for iPad

At Georgia College we are fortunate to have a site license to Turnitin.  The plagiarism detecting software is also built into the Desire to Learn learning management system.  Students in classes I teach voice their appreciation for having access to the software.  I encourage students to "self-check" their papers with Turnitin website before they submit their papers for grading.

Users need to understand that the only thing that it does it to compare wording with other documents.  It does not  find instances where citations are omitted.  Turnitin is now available for instructors to use on the iPad.  When you open the app, you have an opportunity to experience an interactive tutorial on how to insert comments, both text and voice, as well as using the grading function.

The app can be downloaded at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/turnitin/id657602524?mt=8
