Onsite Training
For many institutional accounts, training can be useful for getting started and promoting widespread instructor adoption of Turnitin. If desired, a representative can come to your school, campus, district, and/or system to conduct a training session for administrators and faculty. Each session is customized to fit specific needs or formats, depending on the audience. Emphasis is on getting new users familiar with how Turnitin works and identifying the most effective ways to use the system.
