MyCourses Safe Exam Browser – Support for students and teachers
SEB (Safe Exam Browser) exams: Safe Exam Browser (SEB) is a secure browser that runs on Windows and macOS, and locks down system functions, websites, and apps to prevent unauthorized resources during exams. The MyCourses Quiz activity is compatible with SEB. Students can use their own laptops in class with SEB, but you should provide clear instructions and have them test compatibility before the exam. Ensure someone is present in the exam room to monitor and handle issues, and keep paper exams as a backup. More on digital examinations:
Try out the Safe Exam Browser (for students): To ensure that students find the SEB environment easy to use, it’s essential to provide clear instructions on your MyCourses page. It’s also crucial for students to test SEB beforehand to confirm that they’ve downloaded it correctly and that it will function properly during the exam. You can facilitate this by either setting up a test exam on your course page or directing students to the designated exam site where they can try out the Safe Exam Browser.
Additionally, here’s a another helpful tip for your students: Teacher Services periodically hosts hands-on, drop-in clinics where students can receive immediate assistance with installing, configuring, and troubleshooting SEB for MyCourses quizzes and exams. We aim to organize these clinics a day or two before major exams that require SEB.
