SafeAssign – Plagiarism Checker
SafeAssign is a plagiarism detection service, offered by Blackboard. This service helps instructors prevent plagiarism by detecting unoriginal content in student papers. In addition to acting as a plagiarism deterrent, it also has features designed to educate students about plagiarism and the importance of proper citation of any borrowed content.
Student Preview
Blackboard Learn now has a Student Preview option. This option allows administrators/instructors to view their courses as the student would see it.
Accessible Headings and Subheadings
The use of proper headings is one of the most important formatting cues for a screen reader user. Proper heading structure enables learners to understand the structural hierarchy of the document.
Accessible Graphics
Textual alternatives to images should be provided for learners with visual and certain cognitive disabilities employing screen readers. This also enables images to be understood in the event that they are not displayed in the browser.
Accessible Links & Text
You should follow some general best practices when writing for online readers to make sure that text and hyperlinks are accessible for all readers regardless of ability.
Accessible Tables
Tables should be used to display data. Avoid using tables for page layout, though it might be tempting to do so. Layout tables do not allow users flexibility in viewing the content since it is “trapped” in the table cell and might not be read in the correct order by a screen reader.
