As an instructor, you likely have questions about how Turnitin Clarity works.
Here are the answers you need:

1. Should I require my students to complete the entirety of the assignment in the student writing tool?
   It is important to remind students that all writing, revision, and editing must be completed within the student writing space. If a student completes work outside the writing tool, the tool will not be tracking the writing process, and there is no way to submit the writing to generate the Writing Report.
    
2. For what types of assignments is the student writing tool best suited?
   It is well-suited for all types of writing assignments, including essays, reflections, and research papers.
    
3. Will the student writing tool allow students to share their work with peers for a peer review process?
   No, the student writing tool will not include a peer-to-peer collaboration functionality.
    
4. How will the student writing tool benefit my students?
   Students can use the writing tool to showcase the originality of their assignment. Features like the timeline playback and pasted text content help instructors see how the content has evolved during the writing process.
    
5. How often is my student’s progress saved?
   Your student’s progress will be automatically saved as they write and make changes to the document. Saving occurs approximately every few seconds, with a visual indicator showing “Saving…” or “Saved” along with a timestamp.
    
6. Is there an "offline" option to use Turnitin Clarity?
   No, there is no offline editing available. The editor will freeze if internet connectivity is lost, ensuring no work is lost. Internet access is also required for the AI assistant.
    
7. Can a student work in multiple browsers at the same time?
   Students should use one active browser window. Opening the writing tool in multiple tabs or devices may cause syncing delays or data loss.
    
8. Can my students use the student writing tool on their mobile device?
   The writing space is supported only on tablets, laptops, or desktops. Accessing on phones is not recommended.
    
9. Which features of Turnitin Clarity will be available in which languages?
   1. Students can write and submit within Turnitin Clarity’s composition space in any language.
   2. The writing report (playback, data insights, pasted text indicators) supports submissions in any language.
   3. The workflow and Writing Report interface will be localized in all supported Feedback Studio languages.
   4. English-only features: Grammar, spellcheck, citation, and AI assistance work only for English submissions. These features are optional and can be enabled at instructor discretion.
       
10. Will Turnitin Clarity’s AI assistant work even if the customer does not license Turnitin Originality?
    Yes, the AI assistant is part of Turnitin Clarity and does not require Turnitin Originality.
