Turnitin is an antiplagiarism software that evaluates work against multiple sources to identify unoriginal content including tracking of work online. AKU has embarked on using Turnitin to accomplish its vision to enhance the quality of academic activities.
Turnitin global license was acquired so that the software could be used as an educational tool in writing the ‘right way.'
Initially Turnitin was made available to students and then to faculty members, including entity resource persons. A partnership was constituted between the Network of Quality Assurance & Improvement, Registrar’s Office and the Information and Technology division to implement Turnitin in a holistic manner.
At AKU, 110 faculty and 398 students in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, UK, and Pakistan have been trained. Currently, training sessions are being conducted in Pakistan. Helpdesks for Turnitin have been created in each of AKU's country campuses.
