Turnitin Announces Google Classroom Add-on to Promote Responsible AI Use in Schools
Summary
Turnitin launched a Google Classroom add-on that embeds Turnitin Feedback Studio features directly into Google Workspace for Education to help educators manage AI use in written assessments. The integration adds new assignment types, an AI-guarded writing chat (Turnitin Clarity), AI writing indications with an Originality license, and automatic grade passback while keeping workflows inside Google Classroom. Turnitin cites data showing widespread generative AI use by students and a rise in high-AI-content submissions, framing the integration as a way to build AI literacy, support fair grading, and increase transparency. The add-on requires Google Workspace for Education Plus, completed a closed beta, is now globally available, and will be demonstrated at ISTE 2026.
