What is Draft Coach?
Answer
Draft Coach is an application whereby students are provided real-time feedback as they compose a document. Much like the review, grammar, and citation features within document editing software such as Microsoft Word, Draft Coach also integrates Turnitin's similarity checks to gauge for unintentional or even contract plagiarism against their extensive database of content.
To add Draft Coach to Word, do the following:
- From one's OneDrive account, open MS Word.
- Click the red Add-ins button located within the home tab of a new document. Search for Draft Coach, and then add to the application.
- A new Turnitin tab will then appear at the top of the document.
