Amping Up Your Teaching & Learning with Inclusivity and Plagiarism Management
Speaker: Nick Benwell, Solutions Engineer, Blackboard
As educators, we strive to ensure that our students, regardless of learning preferences or limitations, have access to content in order to enhance their learning experience and increase their success and academic achievement. Blackboard Ally is here to help educators achieve that by integrating into the LMS, focusing on making digital course content more accessible.
Nick will also talk about plagiarism management by introducing a technology called SafeAssign that compares submitted assignments against a set of academic papers to identify areas of overlap. This allows educators to review assignment submissions for originality and create opportunities to help students identify how to properly attribute sources rather than paraphrase. Join Nick and learn how these seamlessly integrated tools can turn your LMS into a comprehensive, digital learning environment for a complete teaching & learning experience.
11:45am - 12.15pm
