Intro to Turnitin Video
Turnitin is an online text-matching service. The system enables institutions and staff to compare students' work with a vast database of electronic sources including:

- Reduce workloads with tools which allow staff to focus on teaching and learning, not marking and admin, improving outcomes for students.
- Guide students with meaningful, personalised feedback that helps them learn and improve their academic writing and research skills.
