Improving Feedforward with Turnitin QuickMarks

Thursday 24 April: 12.30-13.30

This webinar will show you how to use Turnitin Feedback Studio (TFS) QuickMarks to provide feedback, and how to customise and create your own.

QuickMarks are labels that you can onto the submitted assignment. You can include further explanations that can include formatted text and hyperlinks, and they can also be linked to criteria when using grading forms or rubrics. Each QuickMark has space to add freeform comments.

They make providing detailed feedback and feedforward easier, especially for frequently used comments/feedback. They are organised into Sets that can be shared across markers to improve consistency and reduce workload.
