SafeAssign is a part of the Blackboard Beyond family and is centrally hosted by Blackboard, like the rest of the Beyond products and services.  Although it is a new Blackboard service, it is based on a mature and proven technology that Blackboard acquired from Sciworth Inc. (MyDropBox) and enhanced to offer even better stability, performance, and integration with other Blackboard products. 

Compared to other plagiarism tools, Safe Assign offers the following::

• Powerful, flexible, and effective plagiarism prevention algorithm
  
• Opt-in Global Reference Database puts the student in control of their work
  
• Comprehensive and interactive Originality Reports support faculty decision-making
  
• Tightly integrated with the Blackboard Learning System
  

1. Click on the View/Complete link below the Assignment. SafeAssignments have a green checkmark icon.
2. You can either type or copy/paste the content of your assignment in the Comments box, or attach it by clicking the Browse button.  Please avoid using special characters (#, &, ?, =, etc.) in your filenames.
3. If you check the box under Global Reference Database, you are volunteering to submit your paper to this database. After your paper is submitted, it will be included in future plagiarism checks for every university using SafeAssign. More information about the Global Reference Database can be found here.
4. If you do not check the box, your paper will still be included in the institutional database, meaning that it will be used in any SafeAssign checks in Stony Brook Blackboard courses.
   
5. Click Submit to send your assignment to the SafeAssign databases.

To check to make sure your assignment's been submitted, go to My Grades via Course Tools. If there is an exclamation point (!) where your grade should be, that means your assignment has been received. When your instructor grades your assignment, that exclamation point will be replaced by a grade.

When your assignment has been graded, go to My Grades via Course Tools. In addition to seeing your grade, you can also view the report generated by SafeAssign, detailing all potential instances of plagiarism. Simply click on the icon beneath SA Report to view this report.

The following types of files can be submitted to SafeAssign:

• Microsoft Word (*.doc)
  
• PDF (*.pdf)
  
• Rich Text Format (*.rtf)
  
• Plain Text (*.txt)
  
• Web page (*.htm or *.html)
• A ZIP file containing multiple files in any of the above formats (*.zip)
  

NOTE: Word 2007 files (*.docx) are NOT supported by SafeAssign. If you are a Word 2007 user, you will have to save your document as a .doc before attempting to upload to SafeAssign.

NOTE: Do not use any special characters (@, #, &, etc.) or spaces in your filename.  Only use letters and numbers (Example: Assignment1.doc).

Your USC network username is located in VIP . Click on Technology then "Show Me Network Username and password." You can set or reset your password here.

Authorized University of South Carolina faculty and staff may use the VPN system.

Click here for more information about the VPN.

You cannot create a remote control connection to an on-campus computer without first using the VPN to connect to the University network. However, the VPN software does not provide the ability to establish remote control of a University computer from an off-campus location.

To create a remote control session, or a remote desktop connection, you must first establish the VPN to the University network. Then you will need to use some other remote control software, such as the services available in the computer's operating system, or install a 3rd party remote control software package. University Technology Services does not provide this software, or technical support for the remote desktop connection.

It is very important that before you attempt to create remote sessions to your University computer, you contact your network administrator to determine if a remote software package is supported, and if remote use of your computer may be a violation of departmental policy.

Wireless network access should be available in most Residence Halls for you to access the University network on your computer without a network cable. Some Residence Hall rooms may require you to make a wired connection to your computer. If you want to be able to use your network jack for both your computer and your gaming system, you can attach a network switch to the wall jack. A switch is a device that will allow multiple network devices to share a single network jack.

A network switch is different from a network router. The University does not allow network routers to be attached to Residence Hall network systems. A network switch, however, can be used.

If you live in a Residence Hall, and you wish to obtain a network switch for use in your room, you should contact University Housing at 803-777-4283 or visit their website at http://www.housing.sc.edu/. If your room has only one network jack, Housing will provide you with a switch for your room. For Residence Hall network information, go to: http://www.housing.sc.edu/rhnetworkinfo.asp

Use of a network router on the University network may result in your network access being blocked by University Technology Services.

If your college recommends a Mac, but you prefer to have a Windows computer, you will need to use a computer lab to do any work that would specifically require a Windows operating system.

UTS recommends the following for your computer:

1. Office software: Versions for the Mac and the PC are available through VIP at a discounted price ($35-80). After logging in, click on Technology and "Software Distribution." Office software can be shipped to your permanent address or picked up at the UTS building (1244 Blossom Street).
2. Antivirus software: Any antivirus software is fine to use, but the University offers free antivirus packages for all students. Trend Micro for the Windows operating system and Virex for the Macintosh operating system are both available for immediate download on VIP. After logging in, click on Technology and "Software Distribution".
3. Warranty protection: You should have at least a 3-year warranty protection on your computer. UTS can help with most network and software-related problems or installations; however, a hardware problem will be referred to the manufacturer warranty. This includes hard drive failure, monitor problems or keyboard issues, as an example. Apple offers the AppleCare warranty program (3 years) and Dell has a 4-year warranty available.
4. Backup: You should use either an external hard drive device (flash drive, external drive, CD/DVD) or online backup system to store your files. UTS does not endorse any online backup systems except for the Microsoft Live@edu Skydrive feature, which offers 7 GB of online storage.
5. Lock: These can be purchased at any place that sells electronics, including the University Bookstore. These are recommended especially for laptops. The USC Police Department also provides registration security for computers and personal belongings.

The word "podcasting" refers to a collection of technologies that make it easy for people to create and publish audio and/or video content to the Web. Users can subscribe to the content to view it in a variety of different formats. These formats include RSS (Really Simple Syndication), blogging software, and MP3 files.

Click here for information about how UTS can help with your podcast.

With podcasting, users can produce audio and video programs for a global audience without being limited by available recording technologies. You can produce a podcast with a simple microphone or professional level studio equipment. And audiences can listen to or view podcasts over the Internet whenever they wish, and not be limited to broadcast or event schedules.

Podcasting has proven to be a useful teaching tool. Faculty can easily create and publish lectures, audio and video content as podcasts. Colleges and Departments can create informational podcasts for the general public. Students can access the podcasts when convenient, and use them to supplement written materials. Similarly, students can contribute audio materials as course work. A variety of interesting uses have emerged over the past years - both at USC and elsewhere - as early adopters have "worked the technology" in new and innovative directions.
