Blackboard: Safe Assign

Introduction

SafeAssign compares submitted assignments against a set of academic papers to identify areas of overlap between the submitted assignment and existing works. SafeAssign originality reports provide detailed information about the matches found between a student's submitted paper and existing sources.
