Safe Assign Plagiarism Tool (Usable in Assignments)You can use SafeAssign to check submitted assignments for originality. SafeAssign compares student submissions against multiple sources to identify areas of overlap between student work and existing publications. Please note that you must turn on Safe Assign BEFORE students begin submitting work. | ||
DiscussionsDiscussions – Online discussions provide unique benefits. Because students can take time to ponder before they post ideas, you may see more thoughtful conversations. You can observe as students demonstrate their grasp of the material and correct misconceptions. You can extend your office hours and reach students more often during the week so that learning is continuous. | The following video goes into the basics of creating a new discussion on Blackboard Ultra. | Learn more about creating and managing discussions. |
