This post points to a bit of a change of direction for the anti-plagiarism software TurnItIn. Not that they're going to stop comparing student work to their ever-growing database any time soon. But now they're able to leverage this access into the provision of more services for instructors grading assignments, including some auto-marking (for example, writing 'awk' on awkward phrases, and correcting incorrect citation formats) and comment assistance tools (including audio and video annotations). I think that in the long run anti-plagiarism will be a smaller and smaller part of the company's offerings, and I'm sure they'd like to get into the automated assessment market.
