Overview
Blackboard's SafeAssign plagiarism checker can be used to check for plagiarism on student assignments submitted through Blackboard. In cases where Plagiarism is suspected, and the SafeAssign service is not enabled in an assignment, or the student fails to use the LMS to submit a digital copy, the instructing faculty may use the DirectSubmit service to check the file for possible plagiarism. This check can be performed by any user with Instructor-level permissions in any Blackboard course, and does not necessarily need to be performed within the same Blackboard course that the assignment is for. This checks only for possible Plagiarism, not AI misuse.

Information
Click here for documentation on DirectSubmit, which allows a course instructor or administrator to quickly add resources to the institutional database that aren't already available in SafeAssign. You can also use it as a private library of content you believe students might copy from, or to submit content on behalf of a student for originality testing.
