SafeAssign, a plagiarism detection tool, received a significant improvement with streamlined integration with regular Blackboard assignments. Previously instructors had to create a separate SafeAssignment in order to check student work for plagiarism. Effective January 2015, SafeAssign is fully integrated with the Assignment creation and grading workflow -- there will no longer be a separate SafeAssignment tool.

You can enable the SafeAssign Originality Report any time, even after students have started their submissions – however, submissions cannot be retroactively checked. Submissions received before you enable the setting aren't checked with SafeAssign. SafeAssign results are hidden while anonymous grading is enabled. After you post grades and names are shown, you can view the SafeAssign results and the Originality Reports. |

To check for plagiarism in an Original course, you will create an Assignment instead and simply check a box to tell Blackboard to use SafeAssign to check for plagiarism.

Why is this better?
By integrating SafeAssign into the Assignment workflow, instructors can now use embedded feedback tools and rubrics. Additionally, if the assignment is set to accept more than one attempt, then multiple SafeAssign reports are also generated. With a couple of clicks, we can designate the assignment as a draft and allow students to submit to SafeAssign to revise their work based on the report, or exclude submissions from the global database. The overall workflow is streamlined and easier to use.
