Here's a link to our tutorials on SafeAssign

http://courses.mtroyal.ca/blackboard/quick-help/safeassign/

And here's a Standard Sample Statement:

In this course, you will be asked to submit material in electronic form to a text matching service to which MRU subscribes called [xxxx]. This is a service that checks textual material for originality. MRU authorizes the use of text matching software for educational purposes. Limited personal information should be entered into the software. If software options allow it, it is recommended that personal information entered be limited to MRU identification number, institutional e-mail address and course work. Submitted data resides with the software company outside the University and is used to provide comparisons that promote academic integrity. Students have the right to opt out of using the software and may choose another form of originality checking, subject to the agreement of the instructor. Students must notify their instruction of their intention to opt out by _________________________. Inquiries can be directed to the instructor [title, business address and phone number]. More information about [software name] including training materials and the University's reasons for using it can be found at _________________________.

These procedures align with MRU copyright policies and guidelines.

Fix for WordPress Courses sites with HTTPS issues

by Jesse Patching

It's possible to accidentally setup a WordPress Courses site which automatically redirects to the HTTPS version of the site instead of HTTP. When this happens, resources required by the theme and images in the course may not load correctly.

To fix this issue:

1. Login to the Courses site as usual
2. In the left hand sidebar, hover over "Dashboard" and click on "My Sites"
3. On the "My Sites" page, click the "Manage Sites" link at the top left
4. Find for your site in the list of Sites
5. Hover over your site, and click "Edit"
6. On the "Edit Site" page, click the "Settings" tab
7. Make sure that the "Siteurl" and "Home" inputs start with "http://"

install Wordpress from an xampp database

username: root
password: leave blank, there is no password using xampp (wamp uses "root" as the password)

install and run xampp as admin

even if you're logged in with admin access already!
