Learn@Seneca includes SafeAssign, which can be used to help your students produce original work. It can be used to help educate students about plagiarism and the importance of proper citation and attribution.

Seneca has a licence for this tool.
You can set up SafeAssign assignments in your Learn@Seneca course. Assignments submitted online through SafeAssign are checked against a global reference database and originality reports are issued that both faculty and students (when enabled) can view. Allowing students to view their originality reports provides an opportunity for them to learn about proper citation and attribution, and what constitutes plagiarism.
For more information, see the Enabling SafeAssign for Assessments how-to article from the Teaching & Learning Centre.
The Quick guide to secure handling of confidential student information for faculty using online learning tools (PDF) (developed by the Teaching & Learning Centre and ITS) helps faculty choose secure online tools for teaching. The guide provides guidelines and examples to help faculty consider the information students might be giving up when using a new tool. It is intended for quick use of free or low-cost online tools and not for larger, more costly tools that require more rigorous data privacy vetting.
Using SafeAssign for students to double check they have cited properly, or to deter them from copying and pasting large amounts of text from a published source unless truly relevant to the assignment.
