SafeAssignments

This section of the Blackboard for Faculty Tutorial will go over how to create SafeAssignments to check students' work for plagiarism. This way, students can upload assignments that will directly run through the SafeAssign tool, rather than having faculty upload each individual paper through SafeAssign.

Creating a SafeAssignment

  • To create a SafeAssignment, go to the Assignments page.
