In June, Turnitin announced a multi-year extension of its work with the College Board ® that will connect its formative writing tools to College Board programs like SpringBoard® in an effort to expand and promote productive student writing practice. This announcement marked the culmination of three years of collaborative research between Turnitin and the College Board that demonstrates the value of Turnitin's Revision Assistant technology in evaluating and improving student writing. In the near future, Turnitin will continue the integration of its education technology into other College Board programs, including Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy® . By the end of 2016, students will be able to use a free, publicly available version of Revision Assistant to help them prepare for the new SAT Essay section.
