Are you worried that your students aren't producing their own work? Or maybe they have never been taught how to cite properly? SafeAssign allows you to protect the originality of work and ensure a fair playing ground for all of your students. SafeAssign is integrated with the Blackboard Learning System products, enabling you to prevent plagiarism by detecting unoriginal content in student papers right within your existing teaching and learning environment. SafeAssign can also further deter plagiarism by helping to create opportunities to educate students on proper attribution and citations and help them to effectively take advantage of the wealth of information out there.

Cheating on exams, activities and plagiarized papers are always a concern for those teaching online courses. Is there anything we can do to prevent or reduce the temptation of cheating? The good news is yes; there are things we can do to build an environment in which students are less likely to cheat. The bad news is it takes a little more work on our part and it's not 100% fail proof. Studies have shown there are many reasons why students cheat, ranging from trying to maintain their scholarship, task overload and external factors (family, work, life pressures, time management). How can we foster academic honesty in our classes? While there are several models for plagiarism prevention, they all have three things in common. It is important to note that these items are also best practices when building an online course.
