Safe Exam Browser (SEB) is a customized web browser, available for Windows, macOS, and iOS). The application must be downloaded and installed on the device that the student uses to attempt the quiz. It controls access to resources like system functions (CTRL+C or V, Print Screen, etc), other websites and applications and prevents unauthorized resources being used during an exam. SEB runs on a local computer and it is connected via the internet to a learning management system.
If a quiz needs to be taken using the Safe Exam Browser, then SEB settings can be configured in the quiz settings under the "Safe Exam Browser" section. If SEB has enabled, students can only attempt the quiz using the Safe Exam Browser.
- To avoid situations where learners do not know if Safe Exam Browser works on their own computers, add a SEB sample quiz with few sample questions to the course (not necessarily related to the course topic). Then students can test before the test or exam, whether SEB works on their computers.
- Question types that require JavaScript (such as dragging, aligning, etc.) may not work in a quiz with SEB configuration. When using these types of questions, it is necessary to test in advance the entire quiz in Safe Exam Browser.
