How to Use Safe Exam Browser
Introduction
Safe Exam Browser is a web browser environment that carries out e-assessments safely. The software turns any computer temporarily into a secure workstation. It controls access to resources like system functions, other websites and applications and prevents unauthorized resources from being used during an exam.
General Concept
SEB runs on a local computer and it is connected via the internet to a learning management system (LMS) or an e-assessment system. Generally, SEB works with any web-based LMS and other kinds of web-based exam systems. Some learning management systems (LMS) like Moodle, ILIAS, OpenOLAT and exam solutions as Inspera Assessment offer a quiz mode specifically compatible with SEB.
Configuration
Safe Exam Browser enables secure exams on unmanaged computers like students’ personal laptops and tablets as well as in managed environments on all three platforms Windows, macOS and iOS. Starting version 2.0, SEB offers an individual configuration per exam, which is protected by a strong encryption against manipulation. Thanks to an elaborate authentication feature, the exam system can verify that a particular, unaltered SEB version and the correct exam settings are used for an examination. This facilitates secure exams especially on unmanaged computers like students’ personal laptops/tablets.
Safe Exam Browser 2.0 and later is a unified version which brings almost the same features, exam system interface, compatible configuration files and a very similar user interface onto all three platforms, while still taking in account operating system differences and unique platform specific features.
