International Workshop on Turnitin Feedback Studio and Plagiarism

On March 30th, 2023, Tishk International University organized an International Workshop titled Turnitin Feedback Studio and Plagiarism. The workshop aimed to ensure that all university faculty members understand the features and functions of Turnitin Feedback Studio for instructors and highlight how it could be used to identify plagiarism, mitigate the risk of academic dishonesty, and promote interaction between instructors and students.

The workshop was organized by the English Language Teaching Department, Faculty of Education, and facilitated by Yasemin Arşın, a Training and Implementation Consultant from Turnitin. The event was held at the Education Building, Hall #302.

The targeted audience of the workshop was the Deans, Heads of Departments, Research Center faculty members, and the Graduation project coordinator. During the session, attendees were provided with an overview of the Turnitin Feedback Studio and how to use it to identify instances of plagiarism in student work.

The facilitator, Yasemin Arşın, discussed the different features of Turnitin Feedback Studio that instructors could use to provide feedback to students and promote academic integrity. The workshop also included a demonstration of how to interpret the plagiarism report generated by Turnitin, allowing instructors to determine whether a student has plagiarized content in their work.

Overall, the workshop was a success, providing faculty members with a better understanding of the tools and features available to promote academic integrity and mitigate the risk of academic dishonesty. The English Language Teaching Department, Faculty of Education, hopes to organize similar workshops in the future to improve the quality of education and promote interaction and exchange of ideas among faculty members.
