Turnitin LTI 1.3 in Canvas: Supporting Student Writing in the Age of AI
How can Turnitin support stronger student writing—not just catch plagiarism? In this hands-on session, middle and high school teachers will explore how the Turnitin LTI 1.3 integration in Canvas can support the writing process, provide meaningful feedback, and promote academic integrity in the age of artificial intelligence.
Participants will experience Turnitin from both the student and teacher perspective through guided practice and live demonstrations. Teachers will learn how to create Turnitin-enabled assignments in Canvas, interpret similarity and AI writing reports, and explore feedback tools that support revision and growth.
The session will also introduce a process-over-product approach to writing pedagogy, emphasizing drafting, feedback, revision, and critical thinking in an era where generative AI is reshaping how students write and learn.
In this session, participants will:

• Learn how to set up and use Turnitin LTI 1.3 assignments in Canvas
• Experience Turnitin as both a student and teacher
• Explore similarity reports, feedback features, and AI writing detection tools
• Discuss best practices for supporting authentic student writing
• Consider instructional shifts that emphasize the writing process over the final product in the age of AI

This session is ideal for middle school and high school teachers interested in strengthening writing instruction while thoughtfully navigating the opportunities and challenges of generative AI.

Are you ready to move your students beyond the worksheet? Join us to explore how WeVideo can transform Your high school classroom. This session will focus on moving students through Bloom’s Taxonomy—shifting from "Remembering" to "Creating"—by using video to enhance flipped classrooms and deeper learning. We will explore subject-specific applications ranging from ELA book trailers and Science lab procedures to Math walkthroughs. You’ll also see how WeVideo’s accessibility features, like subtitles and multilingual options, to best meet the needs of all your students.

High school students benefit from digital learning environments that are organized, intuitive, and designed to support increasing independence and responsibility. In this hands-on session, 9-12 teachers will explore effective strategies for building clear, student-centered Canvas/Open Access courses that improve navigation, communication, and engagement. Participants will examine ways to structure modules, streamline instructions, and design consistent course layouts that help students stay focused and accountable. Teachers will leave with practical templates, examples, and at least one revised module or page that can be immediately implemented to improve clarity and student access in their courses.

Middle school students thrive when digital learning spaces are simple, consistent, and easy to navigate. In this hands-on session, 6-8 teachers will explore practical strategies for designing student-centered Canvas/Open Access courses that reduce confusion, increase engagement, and support student independence. Participants will learn how to organize modules and create consistent layouts that help middle school learners focus on learning instead of searching for information. Teachers will leave with ready-to-use templates, examples, and at least one revised module or page they can immediately implement in their classroom.
