I just updated SafeAssignment from version 1.6.5 to 1.6.6. One faculty member reported a situation where students were seeing a huge java error message after submitting a paper. This upgrade corrected that error.
The documentation lists the following improvements that are included in version 1.6.6.
a. Access to Reports from the My Grades section of the Student Interface – this feature allows students to view their SafeAssignment matching reports directly from the My Grades sections of their Blackboard accounts.
b. Removal of Deleted Assignments from Gradebook – deletion of assignments is properly reflected in the Blackboard Gradebook with all grades remaining intact but an option to view submitted papers and reports becoming unavailable.
c. Reprocessing Enabled for 0% Reports – now reports with 0% matching can also be reprocessed whenever needed.
d. SafeAssignment Access for Graders and CourseBuilders – users with Grader and CourseBuilder roles now can use SafeAssignment in the corresponding courses according to their Blackboard access privileges.
If you experience any problems or notice anything odd, please let me know so I can inform the developers and they can resolve it.
