We're delivering on long-standing customer requests for formative assessment opportunities with Turnitin.
Turnitin’s new multipart assignments help educators shift the conversation from "did this student produce this work?" to "has meaningful learning taken place?”
With multipart assignments, we’re allowing instructors to design assignments with multiple, connected parts, making it easier for instructors to guide the learning process and for students to get the feedback necessary to improve over time.
What you need to know
- Turnitin has launched a new multipart assignment type available via the assignment picker.
- Instructors can create multiple connected assignment parts as one structured workflow, building in the necessary checkpoints to support guidance, reflection, and revision throughout the writing process.
- The new assignment type is available at no additional cost for Turnitin Feedback Studio and Turnitin Clarity customers.
How do multipart assignments work in Turnitin Feedback Studio and Turnitin Clarity?
Setup
Instructors can efficiently create multiple assignment parts in one simple setup, including the ability to duplicate assignment parts when reusing similar assignment settings.
Submission
Before beginning a new stage, students are prompted to review the feedback given on the previous stage. If using Clarity, students will be able to pick up right where they left off by bringing the prior submission text forward when starting the next part.
Review
During the grading process, instructors can easily reference prior submissions, making it possible to view a student's entire learning journey.
What are the benefits of Turnitin’s multipart assignments for educators?
The main benefit of multipart assignments for educators is the ability to track the full arc of student work, enabling earlier, proactive guidance before the student’s final submission. Other benefits include:
- Get enhanced visibility into the writing process, which is especially important in the age of AI.
- See at a glance whether instructor feedback has been viewed and actioned.
- Leave higher quality feedback when it matters most: before the final product is submitted.
- Easily incorporate new assignment types as Turnitin releases them in the future.
What are the benefits of Turnitin multipart assignments for students?
For students, the main benefit of multipart assignments is the opportunity to receive formative feedback throughout the writing process and apply it before the assignment is complete. Students need and want opportunities to receive guidance.
Other benefits include:
- Students can see all of their assignment parts and their instructor’s feedback in one place (also a benefit for educators, who can be more confident students will see and address their feedback).
- Just in time reminders for students to review and act on feedback before they start work on the next assignment part.
- In Clarity, draft continuation allows students to continue from a previous Clarity submission as they move to the next part, rather than starting over each time.
Greater assurance of learning with Turnitin
With multipart assignments, students have more opportunities to strengthen their writing through continuous feedback and revision, while educators get visibility into how work evolves across every stage of the writing process.
