Slide 3
Overview of SafeAssign
Slide 4
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
Slide 5
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
Slide 6
Sample Report
Slide 7
Plagiarism Prevention
Slide 8
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
Slide 9
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.
Slide 10
New Tools For Teaching Preventing Plagiarism through Pedagogy
Syllabus Assignment Design Teaching: process-based view of writing
Teaching: research skills
Slide 11
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
Slide 12
Using SafeAssign
Slide 13
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
Slide 14
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

New Tools For Teaching Student Platforms Minimum Requirements
CPU: Pentium 4 or higher Memory: 512 MB Operating System: Windows
Vista or Windows XP SP2 Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6,
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2.0 Minimum Requirements
CPU: PowerPC 1.4 GHz or Intel 1.4 GHz Memory: 512 MB Operating
System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.4 (Tiger) Browser: Safari
2.0, Safari 3.0, Firefox 2.0 Mac PC Other platforms: Unix / Linux
supporting M4V files
Slide 29
New Tools For Teaching Instructor Platforms Hardware: Minimum
Requirements CPU: Pentium 4 or higher Operating System: Windows XP
SP2, Windows Vista Memory: 512 MB (Windows XP SP2) or 1 GB (Windows
Vista) Hard Drive: Free space about 4 GB At a bare minimum, Tegrity
requires only a computer and microphone for the instructor and
access to the server via the Internet or local network. Any
additional multimedia hardware can be connected and captured if
desired. Similar to WebEx, there is no need for IT support and
there is also no need for proprietary hardware. PC
Slide 30
New Tools For Teaching Instructor Platforms Functionality Two
recording modes: Standard Recording mode: Lowest resource usage
(CPU and disk) recording. Records with PowerPoint with a dedicated
OLE solution, annotations with a dedicated engine and screen
recording and video. Enhanced Recording mode: Captures entire
recording as a screen recording. Enables instructor video
throughout the recording. PC
Slide 31
New Tools For Teaching Instructor Platforms Functionality
Standard Recording mode: Pros: Small disk footprint for recordings
Shortened post-processing time Reduced bandwidth needed for
playback Cons: Does not support PowerPoint animations and ink or
embedded video Does not capture software running over PowerPoint
(like Clickers) PC
Slide 32
New Tools For Teaching Instructor Platforms Functionality
Enhanced Recording mode: Pros: Captures any software running over
PowerPoint (like Clickers) Instructor video available throughout
the recording Cons: Uses more disk and CPU as recordings are
captured as screen recordings Higher bandwidth needed for playback
Post-processing takes more time as there is more recording data to
convert PC

Blogs and Wikis
Slide 46
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

Slide 48
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
Slide 49
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.
Slide 50
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
