We also offer TURNITIN ACADEMY webinars, which are a series of live interactive
online workshops that take faculty beyond plagiarism prevention. These are highly
interactive sessions that explore practical elements of using Turnitin in the instructional
process, and present a variety of practical methods and activities for instructors to help
students through responsible use of source material, faster and more meaningful delivery
of feedback, and facilitation of peer review activities. These sessions are also free of
charge, and will provide you and your faculty with some ideas of how other instructors
pedagogically use Turnitin. For more information, to sign up for upcoming webinars,

There are regional User Events available as well. These are face-to-face User Events
organized, co-hosted by Turnitin and a participating institution, that bring together
Turnitin users at a variety of experience levels, providing opportunities to learn and
connect with each other users as well as the Turnitin team. By sharing best practices,
different perspectives, and advanced usage—attendees will find themselves better
equipped to use Turnitin in their classroom, curriculum, and pedagogy. For the latest
Events calendar, please visit:
