Turnitin launches a new writing solution aiming to support responsible use of AI in classrooms
Acting as a bridge between educators and students, Turnitin Clarity provides students with feedback on writing assessments through an optional AI assistant while also giving educators data and insight into how students construct their writing.
“Turnitin Clarity is our response to a defining challenge in education, how to uphold academic integrity and embrace the responsible use of AI,” explains Annie Chechitelli, Chief Product Officer at Turnitin. “In an AI-powered world, we need more than detection, we need solutions that promote learning, invite dialogue, and equip educators and students to use AI ethically and confidently. That’s why we built Turnitin Clarity.”
Turnitin Clarity includes AI writing detection, revision timelines and a breakdown of typed vs pasted text. It also provides educators with a summary of any AI chat history.
Turnitin claims the technology will allow educators to transform instances of plagiarism and AI misuse into valuable learning experiences.
“As development and adoption of AI throughout society grows, we must provide the education sector with the necessary capabilities to understand and leverage these solutions,” James Thorley, Regional Vice President, APAC & EMEA at Turnitin adds.
“Turnitin Clarity creates a flexible, transparent, and controlled environment for students to use AI without it detracting from their learning. It also empowers educators to better evaluate integrity and appropriate AI-use, while improving engagement with students. The resulting understanding of the responsible use of AI will equip both educators and students with the confidence to maintain integrity, while cultivating meaningful and practical learning outcomes.”
