Create custom and pre-defined drag-and-drop sets of customizable comments, of course! Educators are always looking for ways to save time while providing the best feedback they can on student writing.
Turnitin QuickMarks™ are drag-n-drop comments that can be used by an instructor when editing or grading papers within Turnitin Feedback Studio. While evaluating a paper within Feedback Studio, instructors can access a pre-set library of QuickMark "comments" that they can quickly drag-and-drop directly onto students papers.
Instructors can also create a customized set of their own QuickMarksOpens in a new tab/window to use as they grade assignments–to be added to their personal library or upload QuickMarks SetsOpens in a new tab/window provided by Turnitin.
As students read the feedback on their paper, the QuickMark shows a snippet of what the feedback is, and they can read a more thorough description by clicking on the QuickMark comment, which includes explanations, hyperlinks, sources, even emojis.
Educators can also share reusable comment libraries across their institutions.
"I have added a lot of QuickMarks comments. It's just been really helpful to me to be able to add those comments because then I don't have to write the same paragraph over and over and over again when the same problem happens over and over and over again." - Cheryl Ashbaugh, Robert Morris University
