Hi Michele,

Here are a few quick bullets about Turnitin when comparing it to other products.

  • TurnItIn's search database includes internet, publications, and a student paper repository that's been accumulating since 2001.
  • TurnItIn workflow meets you where you are. TurnItIn integrate with all LMS, can be accessed through their website.
  • TurnItIn provides data on your instructor grading, feedback, & student progress through Grademark reports and Admin Statistics so you can identify trends for differentiated learning and student gaps
  • Your instructors will lose their Quickmark & Rubric library that they've built to make their feedback process more efficient
  • TurnItIn's search algorithm recognizes full paragraphs and documents, not just a string of words, resulting in more accurate similarity matches & scores
  • TurnItIn provides you a dedicated account manager that will assist through email or direct phone call away

As your district may be using Google regardless, here is how TurnItIn works with Google overall.

Thank you,

Julie
