Excited to see my school, University of Michigan - Dearborn, once again, doing the right thing by insisting on an opt out of Turnitin's flawed and problematic #EdTech
This tech will harm students. The company is rolling it out in a way that is particularly harmful.
Offering this tech as an option is one thing but it is being forced and rolled out too quickly!!

US Schools are opting out. My school is one of them.
But no one has been told opting out is an option.
You have to ask (and I've heard sometimes pressure) Turnitin to #turnitoff
And you should!
This is flawed #EdTech snake oil! This is Sea Monkeys! They can't prove that it works. They are not letting you test it. They are forcing it on your school!

I've also heard that over 100 institutions in the UK have asked that the feature be turned off thanks to pressure from JISC and others ( @Lawrie can you confirm?) And I have to ask where the heck are @educause ISTE and other US based #Edtech orgs?
I do know of at least three major news outlets (one focused on #highered and two national outlets) working on this story so maybe that will get some attention.

Turnitin Customers were told that this AI detection would be rolled out as new feature on April 4th and that there was no option to turn it off.
That in January the feature would become a paid option.
This is a drug dealer sales tactic. First hit is free. I've seen this tactic many times but I'm not sure I've ever seen it with such a shady product that has such a huge implication for harm.

I just got word that Turnitin has allowed our institution to opt out of the AI Detection features they were forcing on customers till Jan when they planned to start charging for the feature.
I've heard that any institution can opt out but you have to request to be put on the "suppression list"
They are not advertising this - you have to ask for it. They are providing no research or proof about the accuracy of their AI detection.

I think all of that is right
All the more concerning to hear that Turnitin is forcing this function on their users. No one gets a choice. First week of April this new function just appears.
