What is a Safe Exam Browser?

For Instructors who want to use Safe Exam Browser to lock-down student testing, you will need to do the following set-up:

Instructions for the Instructor:

1. If you will be using the Safe Exam Browser for any quizzes and/or tests for the semester, create an instructions page that is required to be viewed before the first quiz/test can be accessed.
2. Copy and paste the information provided in the For the Student Instruction Page section below into the instructions page.
3. On each quiz/test page, add [SEB] to the top of the Quiz description page. This will will make it so that only students who have downloaded, installed, and configured their Safe Exam Browser will be able to take the quiz test.
4. Safe Exam Browser only works on Windows and MAC. Currently, there is no support for Chromebook. 

For the Student Instruction Page
