Week's End Report - Sept. 16th

Tip of the Week!

Ivy Tech Community College uses SafeAssign, a tool which allows instructors to check student work for plagiarism.

SafeAssign is currently an option that can be selected when setting up an assignment within Blackboard. If the SafeAssign option is checked, each submitted assignment is automatically checked against the SafeAssign Global Database as well as the internet and a report is created that shows potential areas of plagiarism.

Many faculty ask if there is a way to submit student work to SafeAssign without using the Assignment tool in Blackboard. The answer is yes! The video below demonstrates how a faculty member can directly submit student work to SafeAssign.

Systems Information

SafeAssign experienced a slight delay early in the week. Report processing could take up to a few hours to appear due to high volume usage. 

Cengage experienced an outage on Sunday, Sept. 11th and part of the day Monday, Sept. 12th. The system was up and running again between 4 and 4:30 pm on Monday, Sept. 12th. Please work with your students to make up any assignments that may have been missed due to this system outage.

Internet access from campus will be intermittently unavailable on Sunday, Sept. 18th from 5 am - 10 am.
