Tutors may now provide feedback for taught study-unit assignment submissions via Turnitin Feedback Studio. Upon accessing a student's submission through Turnitin, tutors and students will now see the following:

• Similarity layer - displays matches of unoriginal material that could potentially be plagiarised
• Feedback layer (new) - allows tutors to provide feedback directly on the student submission.

Turnitin Feedback Studio provides academics with a feature-rich document viewer for annotating and providing feedback directly on student submissions. Tutors can use QuickMarks, add bubble comments, leave typed or audio general feedback, as well as use qualitative rubrics and forms. Templates are available that can be adapted, saved and reused within different VLE study-unit areas.

Subsequently, students will be able to view the feedback once the Feedback Release Date (formerly known as the Post Date) has elapsed. Hence, if tutors plan to provide feedback, it is imperative that they set the Feedback Release Date correctly.
