SafeAssign

SafeAssign makes plagiarized material easier and more efficient to detect. It has been shown to be an effective deterrent that can stop plagiarism before it starts. Because SafeAssign can help to maintain academic integrity, it allows you to better help students gain strong research and writing skills. You can use this tool to give students the opportunity to analyze and revise their work, correcting accidental or intentional errors of documentation.

How Does it Work?

SafeAssign can be used in two ways. 

  1. Instructors can set up SafeAssignments in their Blackboard courses and let students submit papers to these assignments, in a way very similar to the one provided currently by Blackboard Learning System.  As students submit papers, they are checked against SafeAssign’s comprehensive databases of source material.  The papers will then be delivered to instructors through the Blackboard Learning System together with the originality reports, with the results of the matching process, attached to them.* 
  2. Instructors may upload papers directly with the Direct Submit feature, without student involvement.*
