Blackboard & Turnitin Assignments for Students
Introduction and guidance
*Please note this resource is aimed at students*
At the University we use two different types of assignment tools: Blackboard Assignments and Turnitin.
TurnitinUK is an online service which compares student assignments with online sources including web pages, books, databases of reference material, and content previously submitted by other users across the globe. Within Blackboard Assignments, SafeAssign is the tool that checks the originality of a student's submission, in a similar way to Turnitin. You can find information about these two types of assignment tools by watching the videos or in the Guides and Links below.
If you need to submit a video assignment, please check the Guides and Links in the Toolkit’s Panopto resource.

If you are experiencing any problems, in the first instance please contact your course tutor. If you are still having issues, please get in touch with the IT Service Desk.
