Check documentation for your exam/learning management system on how to lock it down correctly. SEB is generally locking down exam client computers only, not the exam system or the quiz module of a learning management system.

Please understand that you also have to configure your exam system correctly to be locked down securely.

Also see the how to use SEB 2.0 document explaining the concept behind SEB 2.x. seb setting files which allow to individually configure SEB per exam. You can download and open files linked in your online exam, edit it in a third party application and then upload the results to your online quiz/LMS again.įrom version 2.0 SEB uses encrypted. SEB for Windows can be used together with additional (third party) applications during an exam. SEB for Windows is based on the Mozilla Firefox/Gecko engine (in contrast to the WebKit browser engine used by SEB for macOS, which is also used by Safari and some open source browsers). This virtual machine detector hinders manipulating SEB further when used in unmanaged environments. SEB detects when it was started in a virtual instead of a native environment and refuses to run. Besides that, the browser is supporting Java and Flash content (as long as the required plugins are installed on the system). In the browser window there is no right mouse (or Shift-F10) click popup window available.

It disables the Windows Task Bar and the Start Menu (button in the lower left corner of the screen), the App/Task/Window Switcher (invoked by Alt-Tab and Windows-Tab), printing. SEB disables the options of the Windows Security Screen (invoked by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del), namely Lock (this Computer), Switch User, Sign out (Log off), Change a password, (Start) Task Manager, Shut down, Restart and Ease of Access.

SEB is a very flexible and modular tool, therefore documentation for examinees on how to use SEB with individual exam setups and the various exam systems it works with should be provided by the institution using SEB or their e-assessment provider.

Seb configuration tools manual#

The following manual explains how to configure and use SEB for Windows from the perspective of exam administrators. Generally it can easily be used with most web-based online quiz and e-assessment systems. Currently SEB integrates with the wide spread learning management systems (LMS) Moodle, ILIAS and OpenOlat and several commercial and non-commercial exam systems, as for example Inspera Assessment. SEB enables secure exams on unmanaged computers like students' own laptops as well as in managed environments. Safe Exam Browser – SEB for Windows opens a web browser window without navigation elements and locks the computer into a kiosk mode, which prevents from switching to other applications or quitting SEB untimely. Until the manual is updated for SEB 3.x, please check tool tips (hover mouse cursor over new controls) for new options in the Configuration Tool. Note: This is the manual for the legacy version of Safe Exam Browser for Windows.
