Using Turnitin effectively: building integrity into your writing

Introduction

Welcome to this short course on using Turnitin formatively. This course is designed for students, particularly those who are new to university study or returning to academic work after a break. It will also be useful for anyone in higher education who wishes to understand how Turnitin can be used to develop good academic practice, strengthen writing skills, and ensure that all assessed work is their own.

This course builds on the OpenLearn course All my own work: exploring academic integrity [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] and the resources in the Good Academic Practice collection, and will help you to take the next step: it focuses specifically on Turnitin and how it can be used to strengthen your writing and your confidence in academic integrity.
