Safe Exam Browser (SEB) Support

Safe Exam Browser (SEB) SupportOnline examinations through the Open eClass platform can be conducted using the specialized Safe Exam Browser (SEB) software, which ensures a secure and controlled assessment environment. SEB temporarily locks down the student's computer, preventing access to external applications, websites, and system utilities during the exam. For successful participation in this process, students must pre-install the appropriate software version on their device.

Downloading and Installing the Software

Device preparation is the first and most critical step before the exam begins. Students must visit the official Safe Exam Browser download website to download the installation file corresponding to their computer's operating system, whether it is Windows or macOS. The installation process is completed by following the standard setup wizard instructions while keeping the default settings. It is noted that macOS users must ensure, through System Settings under Privacy & Security, that they have granted SEB the necessary permissions to access the camera and microphone, if required by the course.

Login Procedure and Exam Participation

On the day of the exam, the student logs into the Open eClass platform using their regular web browser and navigates to the respective online course. Upon selecting the Exercises subsystem and locating the scheduled exam, the start options related to the secure environment appear on the screen. The user selects the link to launch Safe Exam Browser, an action that triggers a pop-up window in the browser requesting permission to open the external application. Once execution is allowed, SEB activates automatically, takes over the entire screen, and—if configured by the instructor—prompts for the specific exam password, which the user types to begin the attempt.

Submission and Exiting the SEB Environment

Within the protected environment, the student answers the quiz questions by navigating normally through the exam pages.

Upon completing all the questions, the student selects the final submission button to register their answers in the system. After confirming the successful submission, the user can leave the secure environment by selecting the exit button located at the bottom of the screen.

This action terminates the operation of Safe Exam Browser, unlocks the computer, and returns the user to their desktop and original web browser.
