Dear Colleagues:

Take this opportunity now to make Turnitin.com part of your teaching this coming semester. During the Fall 2008 Flex Week, Staff Development is sponsoring an advanced and introductory training workshop for current and new users of Turnitin.com. 

Faculty, counselors, staff, and administrators who attend the Turnitin training session will receive a user account, help in setting up a class account and assignments, and information on how to access training videos, Quickstart guides, and user manuals.

What Is Turnitin.com?
Simply, Turnitin is a website tool that evaluates the degree of originality in your students' writing.  It also is a pragmatic teaching tool for showing students how to document their source material correctly and for encouraging academic integrity.

Reserve your a seat in 1 of these 2 workshops by contacting Wendy Bailey (wbailey@fullcoll.edu):

At the Turnitin Resource Center website, a wealth of information and training materials exists to help both instructors and students use the online tool. In addition to these resources, the website also provides faculty and students with pragmatic instructional tools on documentation styles and with discussions on the ethics of academic honesty.
