Safe Exam Browser Overview

What is Safe Exam Browser? Safe Exam Browser (SEB) is a web browser environment designed to conduct online exams safely by locking the computer into a kiosk mode. It disables various features such as the OS X Dock, process switcher, menu bar, Force Quit window, normal reboot, normal shutdown, hiding the application, printing, and Exposé. SEB supports integration with open source learning management systems ILIAS and Moodle, and can be used with most other web-based quizzes or e-assessment systems. It also supports Quicktime, Java, and Flash content, and detects when it is started in a virtual environment. SEB can be used in public presentation situations where web-based content is presented and users should not be able to manipulate the computer.
