New features in Turnitin

Many of you who use Turnitin.com may have noticed a new layout and some new features.

The new layout is nice and clean, with a display that lets you switch between menus and options.

The very cool new feature I just got done using is a function that lets you assign a comment to a criterion in your rubric. It's a handy little menu on the top left corner of the comment box.

So now, just like writing on a paper rubric, you can associate certain comments with certain criterion and end the guessing game for your students about which comments go where.
