As AI Reshapes How Students Learn and Write, The Next Generation of Turnitin Feedback Studio Empowers Educators with More Efficient Grading and AI Insights
OAKLAND, Calif., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Turnitin, a leading provider of technology solutions in academic integrity, announced the general availability of Turnitin Clarity, a purpose-built writing solution designed to help foster academic integrity and guide responsible use of AI in the classroom. Turnitin Clarity serves as a bridge between educators and students, delivering transparency, efficiency, and meaningful feedback in writing assessment, especially in today's AI-powered learning environment.
Building on a newly rearchitected Turnitin Feedback Studio (TFS) foundation, Turnitin delivers flexible assignment workflows, faster access to innovations, and more intuitive grading and feedback tools. With Turnitin Clarity seamlessly integrated, the solution becomes a one-stop environment where students can write, optionally using an incorporated AI assistant, revise and reflect. Educators can then engage, assess, and uphold integrity with full visibility into the writing process.
'Turnitin Clarity is our response to a defining challenge in education, how to uphold academic integrity and embrace the responsible use of AI,' said Annie Chechitelli, chief product officer, Turnitin. 'In an AI-powered world, we need more than detection, we need solutions that promote learning, invite dialogue, and equip educators and students to use AI ethically and confidently. That's why we built Turnitin Clarity.'
The General Availability of Turnitin Clarity: Transparency and AI Literacy in the Writing Process
Turnitin Clarity is a transparent writing solution that enables educators to support students in the writing process with the help of educator-guided AI assistance. It includes a composition space for drafting assignments and an AI Assistant * offering students feedback in the writing process.

The Next Generation of Turnitin Feedback Studio: One Seamless Solution with Insights and Feedback All-In-One Place
Turnitin Feedback Studio reframes the academic integrity conversation as one focused on skills development rather than academic misconduct. This, paired with Turnitin Clarity, means educators can transform instances of plagiarism and AI misuse into valuable learning experiences, enabling students to uphold academic integrity while developing their writing, researching, and critical thinking skills.
New enhancements to Turnitin Feedback Studio include:
Perceptions of AI in education are split between optimism and concern. New global research from Turnitin and Vanson Bourne finds 78% of surveyed students, educators, and administrators alike feel positive about the impacts that AI is having on education. Yet, despite this, 95% believe AI is being misused in some capacity. When asked about the top challenges of AI in education, survey respondents across the board identified the challenge of overcoming the uncertainty of ensuring integrity. To widely unlock the benefits of AI in education without sacrificing academic integrity, workflow transparency between students and educators is crucial.****
