The college at which I work had TurnItIn for several years. Though the cost for the software license was significant, the number of proprietary sources against which TurnItIn was checking grew every year. Virtually ALL of our library periodical databases, as well as open web content, were part of the scan. Faculty had students scan their drafts so they could work with them to correct citation problems and help students avoid plagiarism. Now the TurnItIn license has been cancelled and we must live with SafeAssign which comes with the Blackboard course management system. It appears that their coverage is miniscule compared to TurnItIn. We await your assessment so that we can be fully informed of options in this area.<br />Tish Brennan<br />Providence, RI, USACara Barakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08584789576283061331noreply@blogger.com
