If you have recorded a voice comment in the Feedback Summary for a student’s Turnitin submission, unfortunately, you can’t download the voice comment recording from Turnitin.

In this blog post, we share how you can work around this issue and explore possible options for future assignments.

This month’s prompt is… ‘Exit Tickets’.
