Overview of SafeAssign

New Tools For Teaching What is SafeAssign is a plagiarism prevention service integrated with the Blackboard Learning System It is delivered by Blackboard at no additional cost to the institution It uses a unique originality detection algorithm to run a comparison of submitted papers across a large collection of databases

New Tools For Teaching What does check? SafeAssign compares submitted papers to: Internet Index of billions of documents available to public ProQuest ABI/Inform database Millions of current articles, updated weekly, many with full-text Institutional Database Papers submitted by users from UofL Global Reference Database Papers that were volunteered by students at other institutions

Sample Report

Plagiarism Prevention

New Tools For Teaching SafeAssign is not Enough SafeAssign cannot replace faculty judgment SA report does not prove that student plagiarized work SA wont detect all forms of plagiarism But SafeAssign can be used for creating teaching opportunities

New Tools For Teaching Catalog Statement From current Undergraduate CatalogUndergraduate Catalog Plagiarism defined as "representing the words or ideas of someone else as one s own in any academic exercise Plagiarism Prevention: Instructors may use a range of strategies (including plagiarism-prevention software at the university) to compare student works with private and public information resources in order to identify possible plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Comparisons of student works may require submitting a copy of the original work to the plagiarism-prevention service. The service may retain that copy in some circumstances. Academic units or programs may establish a more rigorous standard of review or consent, which will be noted in the relevant guidelines.

New Tools For Teaching Preventing Plagiarism through Pedagogy Syllabus Assignment Design Teaching: process-based view of writing Teaching: research skills

New Tools For Teaching Teaching: Using Process-Based View of Research and Writing Conducting preliminary research/reading Selecting a topic Preparing a working bibliography Drafting research questions Developing a working thesis (or hypothesis) Creating an outline Writing the first draft Revising, editing, and proofreading Producing the final draft Writing a reflection of the process

Using SafeAssign

New Tools For Teaching Modes of Use SafeAssign may be used in two primary ways Creating SafeAssignments Like a regular Assignment in Blackboard that routes student submissions through plagiarism service In normal mode, papers added to Institutional Database automatically with student opt-in for Global Reference Database In draft mode, performs text matching but paper isnt retained in any database Direct Submit Faculty may directly upload papers May add to Institutional Database but not to Global Reference Database

New Tools For Teaching Supported Document Types SafeAssign supports several types of document .docWord 97-2003 (but not new.docx) .pdfAdobe PDF .rtfRich Text Format .txtPlain Text .htmlWeb Page

Blogs and Wikis

New Tools For Teaching What is a Blog? DailyBlogTips.com offers:DailyBlogTips.com A blog is basically a type of website, like a forum or a social bookmarking site. As such it is defined by the technical aspects and features around it, and not by the content published inside it. The features that make blogs different from other websites are: content is published in a chronological fashion content is updated regularly readers have the possibility to leave comments other blog authors can interact via trackbacks and pingbacks content is syndicated via RSS feeds

New Tools For Teaching What is a Blog? DailyBlogTips.com offers:DailyBlogTips.com

New Tools For Teaching How Blogs are Used Blogs in Blackboard are often used for personal reflection (private journals) and community discussions May set up in any content area May also set up a course level blog used by instructor to communicate with class Think Announcements with student comments

New Tools For Teaching What is a Wiki? The Wikipedia article on Wikis suggests:Wikipedia article on Wikis Ward Cunningham, and co-author Bo Leuf, in their book The Wiki Way: Quick Collaboration on the Web described the essence of the Wiki concept as follows: A wiki invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site, using only a plain-vanilla Web browser without any extra add-ons. Wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link creation almost intuitively easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not. A wiki is not a carefully-crafted site for casual visitors. Instead, it seeks to involve the visitor in an ongoing process of creation and collaboration that constantly changes the Web site landscape.

New Tools For Teaching How Wikis are Used Wikis in Blackboard are often used with team projects Members of the team collaborate to produce online site Also empowers the instructor with assessment details such as student submissions and percentage of participation within the group
