Good Morning Developers,
Today I will be going into your courses to check for 25% completion. If you have any concerns about meeting this deadline please let me know.
Plagiarism:
We have found that as students have more and more access to information via the Internet our instances of plagiarism have increased. In order to combat this plagiarism increase many faculty members have started taking advantage of our SafeAssign feature feature that is built into Blackboard. SafeAssign compares submitted assignments against a set of academic papers to identify areas of overlap between the submitted assignment and existing works. SafeAssign can be used to prevent plagiarism and to create opportunities to help students identify how to properly attribute sources rather than paraphrase.
I have created a new "How To" document on how to create a SafeAssignment in your course and have e-mailed it to all of you. If you are developing an assignment with a research component I encourage you to set up your assignment as a SafeAssignment rather than a regular assignment. These assignments are integrated with the Grade Center just like other assignment but just have the added feature of checking for plagiarism.
Have a great week!
