Turnitin has released Multipart Assignments, a new assignment type that’s now live in ISU Canvas. Build one assignment with connected stages — outline, draft, final — instead of juggling separate ones and track your students’ writing through the full process.

How It Helps Faculty

• No more assignment shuffle. Set up your outline, draft, and final stages as one connected assignment.
• Catch issues early. See how a paper evolved before the final grade is locked in.
• Feedback that gets seen. Students must review your comments before starting the next stage.
• Built for the AI era. More insight into the writing process, not just the finished product.

What's New

• New assignment type in the assignment picker.
• Duplicate parts to reuse settings instead of rebuilding from scratch.
• The Grading view shows a student's full submission history side by side.
