Turnitin Faculty Resources
Using Turnitin within Blackboard
• Turnitin
–
Troy University instructors now have access to
OriginalityCheck, GradeMark, and PeerMark.
• OriginalityCheck
– “OriginalityCheck helps instructors check students’ work for
improper citation or potential plagiarism by comparing it against
the world’s most accurate text comparison database.”
• GradeMark
– “Paperless grading is finally here! GradeMark saves instructors
time and provides richer feedback to students by enabling
editorial highlights, custom comments, and QuickMark editing
marks directly on the student papers.” The ETS e-rater
Grammar Checking tool is also included in GradeMark.
• PeerMark
– “Students don’t just learn from instructors they also learn from
one another. PeerMark facilitates peer review so that students
can evaluate each other’s work and learn from their
classmates.”

the paper, point out grammar and punctuation mistakes, evaluate the
paper against qualitative or quantitative rubrics, assess the student’s
performance within the class, and enter a grade for the paper that is
automatically saved into GradeBook (optional). GradeMark offers a
grammar and spelling checker, e-rater, to automatically scan and
mark up papers with grammar and spelling errors.

GradeMark icon in the GradeMark column in the Assignment Inbox.
See instructions above to “Access the Assignment Inbox.”
