Teaching tip: SafeAssign in Blackboard
April 23, 2013
Avoiding plagiarism is a one if the key components to UAF's Student Code of Conduct. Lessons and discussions on ways to cite and paraphrase correctly, however, are not
included therein.
SafeAssign is a Blackboard module that not only allows instructors to check student
papers against published content, but also can be configured in the course shell to
allow students to check their own work. This can be a valuable part of a learning
activity for beginning writers. Find out more about using SafeAssign in this week's
teaching tip.

Owen Guthrie - Gamification
Humanity now plays three billion hours of technology-based games every week. How can
some elements of these games be used to improve student engagement and learning outcomes?
Gamification is an exciting and emergent topic in education, but it contains many
misconceptions. We will talk about some of these misconceptions, and formulate an
accurate view of the potential for gamification in education. We will also discuss
types of games and motivational systems, including badging, that can be used to provide
your students opportunities to be awesome.
Can't be at the campus location: look online for video streaming and recorded sessions.
