Turnitin Clarity includes a composition space for students to draft their writing assignments with transparency and, when permitted and prompted by the educator, receive AI-generated feedback on their writing to help them improve their work. This gives students the confidence to demonstrate that their submissions are original and representative of their learning.
For educators, it's an all-in-one place to establish the acceptable use of AI by assignment and to help students use AI responsibly. With Turnitin Clarity, they can view the student's writing activity and access insights to easily assess originality, leveling the field and helping ensure fair, equitable grading.
Finally, with Turnitin Clarity, administrators can breathe easy knowing there is transparency and data to support the institution's academic integrity and AI usage policies, and writing assignments and learning expectations are fulfilled, with or without AI assistance.
"Turnitin Clarity serves as a bridge between students and educators," said Turnitin's Chief Product Officer Annie Chechitelli. "Students will need to use AI in their future careers. With Turnitin Clarity, educators can begin to understand how students use it and identify ways to incorporate it into their writing, without hindering their academic progress."
Turnitin Clarity brings everyone in the educational community together through:
-- One-stop composition experience for students: Leveraging the
institution's existing Turnitin workflow, students can gain confidence
tackling a writing assignment safely within Turnitin Clarity; from
accessing the assignment's instructions and rubric, to writing and
editing their submission over multiple sessions prior to the due date
within in the institution's Learning Management System.
-- Chance to learn how to use AI tools responsibly: For many students,
AI-powered tools are part of their learning and writing process, without
the benefit of educator guidance. However, when Turnitin Clarity's
optional AI writing assistant feature is enabled by an educator,
students can use AI as a foundational writing assistant, empowering them
to integrate the technology in a responsible and ethical way.
-- A view of students' writing process, not just the end product: Within
the feature, educators can see their students' entire drafting process -
such as pasted text, typing patterns, construction time and draft
history - not just their final submission. Students' writing histories
can be viewed through the video playback function and easy-to-interpret
reporting. When enabled, educators can also see where and how students
may have used AI tools, and provide guidance based on their usage. This
will help provide information to determine whether the students' work
meets the institution and assignment's integrity standards.
-- Integrity insights all in one place: Integrated with Turnitin Feedback
Studio, Turnitin Clarity makes it easier for educators to access all of
Turnitin's integrity insights in one place to quickly determine the data
behind the originality of a student's written work. Instead of educators
having to request, manage and review students' version histories and
reports from other applications, with Turnitin Clarity, these insights
are already available when the student submits their assignment,
kickstarting constructive, trust-building conversations. Insights can
include similarity checking, AI writing detection,* submission
metadata,* grading and feedback, writing reports, and playback with
flags that further suggest educator review.
-- A collaborative experience with actionable feedback: Turnitin believes
it's not just about assessing a writing submission, but rather a
collaborative experience between educator and student. Educators can
deliver tailored and personalized feedback quickly and easily with
features available within Turnitin Feedback Studio, helping cultivate a
dynamic writing experience for both students and educators.
"Turnitin Clarity helps ensure more fair and equitable grading by leveling the playing field," adds Chechitelli. "These capabilities allow the educator to set expectations on the permissible use of generative AI alongside the assignment's instructions and rubric. Students can compose and turn in their work with confidence."
Turnitin Clarity will be available as a paid add-on to all Turnitin Feedback Studio customers starting in the third quarter of 2025.
