NEW PRODUCT FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
We are constantly working to improve our services in ways that make a real difference in the daily lives of our students, instructors and administrators. As part of that effort, we created a new Product Updates blog to keep you informed of the improvements. As we release improvements to our products, we’ll post them at http://community.turnitin.com/productupdates.
December’s product update release includes:
- Download and print
- Import and export of QuickMark sets and rubrics
- Text comments directly on the paper
In early January, we will be making improvements to the sidebar navigation within OriginalityCheck. You can learn more about these feature enhancements at the Turnitin Product Updates Blog:
