Blackboard takes on plagiarism detection

By Layne Zhao | July 24, 2007

Blackboard Inc., the company that provides and manages many of the online educational services used by the College, recently unveiled SafeAssign, a new plagiarism-detection device which will allow professors to automatically compare students' papers with a database containing millions of articles that will be updated weekly. Unlike similar services such as Turnitin and MyDropBox, SafeAssign does not automatically upload students' papers to the database. Students must first give permission for their work to be copied into the database, and professors will not be forced to utilize SafeAssign when reviewing student papers. Dartmouth has no imminent plans to implement the new feature, which was unveiled on July 2, according to Malcolm Brown, director of computing services. "We would first need to work with colleagues in administration and faculty to look at the tool, to see if it will be useful, what the results are and what the quality the service will be.
