Turnitin Products Named Best in Show by Tech & Learning

OAKLAND, Calif. – Aug. 2, 2023 – Turnitin’s AI writing detection feature and Gradescope by Turnitin earned Best of Show honors from Tech & Learning for their efforts to transform education in schools around the world. Evaluation criteria included ease of use, value, uniqueness in the market, and proof that the product helped make teachers' lives easier and supported student achievement.

The awards were announced at the International Society for Technology for Education’s (ISTE) annual edtech event, ISTELive 2023, in Philadelphia. Attendees included kindergarten through 12th grade education leaders, teachers, coaches and librarians/media specialists.

Turnitin’s most recent launch, an AI writing detection feature, gives educators a report within their existing Turnitin workflow providing an overall percentage of the document that AI writing tools, like ChatGPT, may have generated.

Of those 65 million papers, over 2.1 million – 3.3 percent – have been flagged as having at least 80 percent AI writing present. Nearly 6.7 million – 10.3 percent – have over 20 percent AI writing present.
