Tip of the Week
Would you like to check student work for plagiarism? Then consider using the SafeAssign tool in Blackboard!SafeAssign is integrated into assignments in Blackboard, therefore it can be incorporated by simply clicking a checkbox in your assignment options. If your assignment does not have SafeAssign enabled you can use the Direct Submit feature to submit a document to SafeAssign for plagiarism checking.
To learn more, visit the SafeAssign page on the Blackboard Help website:
