Turnitin, a service of iParadigms LLC, has formed an alliance with the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP) to offer each of the state's high schools and middle schools a low-cost option to purchase Turnitin's new WriteCycle instructional tool.

WriteCycle is a digital workflow solution comprised of three interconnected services that help students better engage with their courses, instructors, and peers. The product helps students and teachers identify various forms of plagiarism and correct the problems. GradeMark, a digital markup system, frees instructors from hand-grading papers, allowing them more time to give each student feedback.

Turnitin’s patented Peer Review system gives instructors the ability to create Peer Review assignments that students use to evaluate and learn from one another’s work. These assignments provide a unique and valuable framework for students to develop their critical thinking and writing skills.
