Turnitin Introduces Turnitin Clarity for Spanish-speaking Educators

A New Era in Academic Integrity

On May 27, 2025, Turnitin, a prominent player in the realm of academic integrity technology, announced a groundbreaking product aimed at the Spanish-speaking educational community - Turnitin Clarity. This innovative tool is set to transform how educators and students interact with the writing process, enhancing transparency and integrity insights across the board.

Serving the Entire Educational Spectrum

Turnitin Clarity isn't just for students; it's a comprehensive solution designed to support the entire educational community. This product aims to empower educators by providing them with visibility into the development of their students' writing skills and offering students the means to enhance their critical thinking abilities. As a complementary extension to Turnitin Feedback Studio, it provides a collaborative workspace where assignments can be drafted, refined, and assessed under a crucial lens of academic integrity.

Features Designed for Success

One of the standout features of Turnitin Clarity is its composition space, which allows students to draft and receive personalized feedback from educators. This feedback mechanism is vital in building students' confidence in demonstrating originality in their submissions. It supports an environment where students feel secure while expressing their thoughts and ideas.

For educators, Turnitin Clarity offers a unified platform to monitor students’ writing activities. By accessing insights on the entire writing process—rather than just evaluating final submissions—educators can ensure fair and equitable grading. Administrators, too, can rest assured with robust transparency regarding the institution's adherence to academic integrity and responsible AI usage.

Bridging the Gap

Annie Chechitelli, Turnitin's Chief Product Officer, emphasizes the importance of Turnitin Clarity in bridging the gap between students and educators. She states, "Students will need to use AI in their future careers. With Turnitin Clarity, educators have visibility into the evolution of their students' writing process, while students have the help needed to develop critical thinking skills, without hindering their academic progress."

A Comprehensive Writing Experience

The solution also integrates seamlessly with the institution's existing Turnitin workflow. Students can confidently tackle their writing assignments by accessing instructions, rubrics, and a space to draft their work within their Learning Management System. Educators benefit from an enhanced view of the drafting process, as they can monitor aspects like pasted text, typing patterns, and the history of drafts, all of which contribute to assessing whether a student's work meets integrity standards.

Integrity Insights at Your Fingertips

Turnitin Clarity features a centralized hub for all integrity insights. Integrated with Turnitin Feedback Studio, it allows educators to quickly access vital data concerning the originality of students' work. This includes similarity checks, AI writing detection, submission metadata, and other crucial elements that facilitate meaningful and productive discussions about academic integrity. Educators can engage in constructive conversations about students' drafts from the moment they are submitted.

A Collaborative Approach

Belén Correa, the director for Turnitin LATAM, describes how the development of Turnitin Clarity involved direct collaboration with educators to streamline the user experience and create actionable insights tailored for easy interpretation. This partnership underscores Turnitin’s commitment to meeting the evolving demands of the educational landscape.

Availability

Turnitin Clarity will be available as a paid add-on for all Turnitin Feedback Studio clients starting in the third quarter of 2025. More information can be found on Turnitin’s official website. This new tool symbolizes a significant leap forward in how academic integrity can be upheld in Spanish-speaking classrooms, ensuring that students not only learn effectively but also produce work that reflects their true abilities.
