If you are interested in a tool that will help you prevent plagiarism and create a learning opportunity for students to cite materials correctly, then the integrated SafeAssign tool can assist you.
SafeAssign is integrated into the Assignment tool and works by scanning for overlap between student submitted work and previously published work from multiple databases.
Once work has been submitted into the Assignment tool, SafeAssign generates an originality report indicating what percentage of an assignment matches existing sources. Instructors can then decide which parts of the assignment may need to be reviewed more closely. SafeAssign originality reports also provide a suspected source for areas of the assignment showing a match to previously submitted work. This function will allow you to determine if the selected area of work has been properly attributed.
