Feedback Studio Overview - Turnitin

Turnitin® Feedback Studio allows you to use GradeMark® to leave detailed feedback on your students’ papers. It also provides you with a comprehensive look into the OriginalityCheck® report produced for a document. The toolbar on the right is structured to reflect these two key functions.

Clicking the active layers icon

Active Layer Icon
brings up a menu of which layers you would like the tool to display in the main viewer on the left. The Grading layer displays any marks or comments made on the document so far. The Similarity layer will display all of the highlights of text flagged in the originality check. Both layers have corresponding sections in the toolbar. Clicking either layer icon (
Blue active layer icon
 or 
Red active layer icon
) above each section will also toggle the visibility of that respective layer.

Active Layer View

Notice to navigation widget on the top right of the window. You can use the arrows to switch between submitted documents in the dropbox. Note that the documents are listed in alphabetical order by student name. You can also click the drop-down menu between the navigation arrows to see a full list of documents within the dropbox and select one to view.

Layer Pagination

As an alternative to scrolling through larger documents, you can click the tab on the left of the page to bring up the page navigation pane. You can either select a new page, which will close the pane automatically, or you can click the lock icon on the top left of the pane to keep the navigation pane enabled as you switch between pages.

Switching between documents

Below the toolbars, you can click the Download to download one of three documents.

Document download

Downloading the ‘Current View’ will create a PDF version of the document that includes all of your markups. You can also download a digital receipt to document the date and time of submissions and who the submission was made by. You can review the contents of the digital receipt by clicking the Info tab below the Download tab (see above graphic). Lastly, you can download a copy of the original, unaltered document in the original file format.
