Editor's Notes
- Blackboard launched Safe Assign at BbWorld Boston on July 10, 2007.
- In this example, the SafeAssignment was set-up in a course content area.
- Draft Option – The papers that are submitted by students, will be checked by the safe assign central service, but not into the institutional database. Student Viewable – students will be able to view their own work and see the report. Urgent Checking – Submission goes into a queue that has to be processed. Average time is usually several minutes to wait for the report. Exam week, end of semesters, checking may take longer. Urgent checking - specify if the papers should be processed urgently or not and the paper would be moved further up the queue.

- What is the Release Statement? The Release Statement is text included with every SafeAssignment to inform students that their paper will be compared to other sources through SafeAssign. The specific text of your Release Statement is determined by your institution's System Administrator and is entered during configuration of the SafeAssign Building Block or PowerLink. Students can choose to submit their paper to the optional global database to protect their paper.
- Uses a complex algorithm to run a comparison of papers across a collection of databases. Prevention- Uses an index of billions of Internet documents. ProQuest ABI Inform database updated weekly Institutional document archives by users from our institution (WilmU) What is the Institutional Database? The Institutional Database is the archive of papers submitted by students in your institution. Each institution's Institutional Database is stored in the central SafeAssign service and kept separate from other institution's databases. Papers are automatically added to this database upon submission and are stored in the central service to be checked against other papers submitted from your institution. The Institutional Database is completely separate from the Global Reference Database which extends across institutions and students must volunteer their papers to. Global Reference Database containing papers that were volunteered by students.

- Restrictive assignments don’t allow for creativity, debate, cause-effect. Or perhaps the writing assignment provides for a hash of similar content.
