Turnitin has upgraded Feedback Studio. They have gathered feedback on instructor and student experiences for quite a while and have now released an updated version that implements the input they received. As of May 8th, 2025, users who utilize https:\/\/turnitin.com<\/a> or the Turnitin assessment module within Moodle will use the updated version of Feedback Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also keep reading for some highlights on the Next-Gen Interface for Feedback Studio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Feedback Studio <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The interface is now more intuitive, moving away from text-heavy menus to a streamlined, icon-driven sidebar<\/strong> designed to maximize the grading space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Icon-Driven Sidebar: A Visual Refresh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The traditional vertical text labels on the right-hand side have been replaced with a minimalist icon dock. This “Visual Refresh” keeps the student’s paper the central focus while providing quick access to grading tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Similarity Layer (Red Icon):<\/strong> Access the redesigned Similarity Report and Match Groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • QuickMarks (Blue Lightning Icon):<\/strong> Open your library of reusable comments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Feedback Summary (Blue Speech Bubble Icon):<\/strong> Leave overall text or audio feedback and view Pinned Feedback<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rubrics (Blue Grid Icon):<\/strong> Access the attached rubric or grading form to apply scores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Prioritizing with Pinned Feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Pinned Feedback<\/strong> feature is a major efficiency tool in the Next-Gen interface. It allows you to “pin” the most critical comments\u2014such as a recurring grammar issue or a particularly strong insight\u2014to ensure they don’t get lost in the margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Pin a Comment:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Click on any QuickMark<\/strong> or Speech Bubble comment<\/strong> you have placed on the paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. In the floating comment card that appears, click the Options menu (three dots)<\/strong> in the top right corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Select Pin Comment<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. A yellow pushpin icon<\/strong> will now appear at the top left of that specific comment card in the margin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Why Pinning Matters:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Pinned comments are automatically aggregated at the bottom of the Feedback Summary<\/strong> side panel. When a student opens their report, they see these “priority” comments immediately below your overall Summary Comment, creating a clear “Action Item” list for their next revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Understanding Feedback Cards and Badges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      In the margin of the paper, feedback is now displayed in “cards.” These cards use a new Badging System<\/strong> to tell you at a glance what kind of feedback is inside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Speech Bubble:<\/strong> Standard text comment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Lightning Bolt:<\/strong> A QuickMark from your library.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Number Icon:<\/strong> Indicates the feedback is linked to a specific Rubric criterion<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Yellow Pushpin:<\/strong> Indicates the feedback has been Pinned<\/strong> for priority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        Tip:<\/strong> You can now customize the color of your feedback cards (Blue, Green, or Pink). Many instructors use these to categorize feedback (e.g., Blue for grammar, Green for strong arguments).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
