\"\"<\/a>Monday saw the second iteration of the App Cafe – a new drop-in lunchtime session in the Tpod, run by the Learning Technology team and looking at how we can use apps in the learning and teaching context. \u00a0This week’s starters included a second look using Dropbox for Cloud storage and some syncing issues, but the main course was a meaty demonstration of the new Turnitin app for iPad.<\/p>\n

The most difficult thing that anyone will find with this app is the initial syncing of NILE modules to the iPad, but that is only because it involves an additional step in the SaGE workflow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Syncing involves generating a class code which is possible using your desktop pc \/ laptop from within one of the Turnitin papers on the module you are marking. \u00a0Simply click on the ‘new’ iPad icon at the bottom left of the screen and then Generate \u00a0code. \u00a0Once you have the 16-letter code you need to enter it into the app. \u00a0You don’t need to login with your Turnitin username as most staff don’t have one of this (it isn’t your NILE login!) \u00a0The code will link that module to your iPad and then you are ready to go.<\/p>\n

If you are used to using an iPad then this app is very intuitive – so intuitive that we don’t think you need a help guide on it! \u00a0Just have a go and see how you get on. \u00a0The functionality is better than that on a pc as you can take full advantage of iPad features like touch screen technology to add or create a quick mark, Siri to enter the text both \"\"<\/a>for existing and new Quick Marks, longer in-text comments or the full text comment at the end. \u00a0Voice comments as found in the desktop version of Turnitin are still possible but obviously Siri makes using voice much quicker and easier in the standard QM\/text comments as well. \u00a0So even typing may be a thing of the past!<\/p>\n

One other major advantage of the app is that once you have downloaded the papers you can mark offline. \u00a0So no more paying for wi-fi so that you can do your marking when on holiday, or when abroad working as International Flying Faculty! \u00a0Simply sync, download, mark and then re-sync when you next have a (free) signal.<\/p>\n

Roshni Khatri, Senior Lecturer in Occupation Therapy, has been using the app for a while now and has this to say about it:<\/p>\n

“The Turnitin App gives me the flexibility to mark where and when I want to without the need for a WIFI connection. The user friendly interface allows me to give feedback, use comments, rubrics and sync grades without any fuss. \u00a0Makes marking easier but enables tutors to continue giving high quality feedback!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Turnitin iPad app is honestly the best thing since sliced bread – and you won’t find that on the menu at the App Cafe!<\/p>\n

The App Cafe is on the 1st Monday of every month, from 1-2 in the TPod, Park Library. \u00a0Next meeting: 6th January 2014. \u00a0Bring your lunch and your mobile device (this isn’t just about iPads you know!) \u00a0We will provide coffee and tea.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
