Safe Assign in Bb 9 Tutorial

Direct Submission to Safe Assignment

Suppose that you have set up standard assignments in your course (as opposed to creating them as SafeAssign items), and you suspect that a student might have plagiarized. Is there an easy way to use Safe Assignment to check the document? The answer is "yes". You can use the Direct Submit feature in Safe Assignment from Blackboard to check any document. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the SafeAssign area by selecting the Course Tools section under Control Panel and then click the SafeAssign link.
   
   
2. This will take you to the SafeAssign window, where you will see a SafeAssignments link and a DirectSubmit link.
3. Select the DirectSubmit link to open the Private Direct Submit window.
   
   
   
4. Click the Submit A Paper button to add a paper.
   
   
5. Under Submission Options, select Submit as draft (recommended) if you do not want to add the paper to the Institutional Search Database.
   Important: If you do not check this, any future submissions of this paper will result in 100% matching.
   
   
6. If you only want to submit the paper to the Institutional Search Database and you do not want to check for plagiarism, click the Skip Plagiarism Checking checkbox. Most people submit documents to check for plagiarism so you will not likely check this box.
7. Under Upload File, browse for the file to attach (note the acceptable file formats) or copy and paste the text (not recommended). Select the appropriate radio button for whichever method you selected.
8. Click Submit when you have completed your selections.
   
9. To read the report, return to the SafeAssign window and select the DirectSubmit link.
10. Follow the same instructions for viewing the Originality Report.
