Brightspace Content is Getting Upgraded
Beginning with the Fall 2027 semester, Brightspace courses will begin using the New Content Experience by default. Additionally, Instructors now have the ability to enable or disable the New Content Experience in their own courses ahead of the change in Fall 2027. For more information about this transition, see our New Content Experience Transition page.
How to manually add grades to student papers in Turnitin
If you choose not to upload a rubric or grading form to Turnitin, you can still manually enter grades within the Turnitin Feedback Studio.
- To manually enter a grade for a student paper, first, access the Turnitin feedback studio for the chosen paper. (For help with this step, see “Overview of Turnitin Feedback Studio”)
- Once inside the feedback studio, locate the text box in the top right-hand side of the navigation bar. Use this box to manually enter a grade for each individual student paper.
- Use the arrows to the right of the grade text box to navigate to the next paper submission.
For more on rubrics and grading forms, see the Brightspace tutorials on “Grades/Rubrics.”
