3.4         SafeAssign

SafeAssign is a plagiarism tool within Blackboard. When a student submits a paper to a SafeAssign dropbox, the software matches the language to pre-existing language within its database. If similar language is identified, SafeAssign displays the comparable content. Conceptually, this tool should be used to help students understand how to cite material that is integrated within their work. SafeAssign offers a draft feature which allows students to submit their work, review the SafeAssign detection report, and revise their work before uploading their final submission. When used appropriately, student learning will be enhanced.
