Feeling stuck with Turnitin? Learn how to seamlessly transition to a platform that prioritizes plagiarism prevention over punitive detection. Get a personalized migration roadmap from Packback.

You’ve read about the hidden costs of detection-only AI. You know that a true culture of academic integrity requires moving beyond a punitive approach. And now, you’re looking at your institution’s contract with Turnitin and thinking, “There has to be a better way.”

There is! But the path from knowing there’s a better alternative to implementing one can seem daunting. As an academic leader, you’re likely asking yourself:

  • How much of a headache will it be to actually switch?
  • Will my faculty revolt? How will I get them on board?
  • What does the technical integration with our LMS even look like?
  • When would we even find the time to do this?

These are not trivial questions. They are the real-world barriers that keep institutions locked into expensive, ineffective systems. We get it. And we’re here to help you see how easy and rewarding a switch can be.

From “Stuck” to “Strategic” in One 30-Minute Conversation

What if you could get clear, personalized answers to all of those questions, without any commitment?

That’s the purpose of Packback’s free Migration Diagnostic. We offer a live, 30-minute consultation with a migration expert who will help you map out a personalized transition roadmap. It’s a conversation about how your institution can equip itself for success.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

  • A Clear Technical Overview: Understand exactly how Packback integrates with your existing LMS (like Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, or Moodle), including SSO setup. No new logins, no extra administrative burden.
  • A Faculty Change Management Plan: We’ll show you how we support your faculty with “white-glove” onboarding and professional development to ensure a smooth, and even exciting, transition to a new approach to originality.
  • A Personalized Transition Timeline: We’ll look at your current contract renewal date and academic calendar to map out a timeline that makes sense for your institution.
