Safe Exam Browser (SEB) Not Launching

Safe Exam Browser (SEB) Not Launching

Number of replies: 7

I've enabled the Safe Exam Browser and installed it on my Windows 7 PC but when I try to take a quiz with SEB enabled I received the following error message (see screenshots of error message and admin screen for SEB in moodle):

'This quiz has been configured so that students may only attempt it using the Safe Exam Browser...Grading Method: Highest Grade...This quiz has been set up so that it may only be attempted using the Safe Exam Browser. You cannot attempt it from this web browser.'

Shouldn't SEB launch seeing as I have it installed on my computer?

====environment: moodle 2.7.8, theme Essential====

I think you are more likely to get meaningful help from the SEB forums at http://sourceforge.net/p/seb/discussion/

SEB does not start automatically when you visit a protected quiz in your normal web browser. You need to start SEB yourself.

Thanks for the feedback.

I set the Start Url in the SEB config tool (SEBConfigTool.exe) to my moodle site, opened up SafeExamBrowser.exe and proceeded to take the quiz. thanks for the assistance. Originally I thought it was supposed to launch by some sort of file extension association upon clicking the quiz link.

try launching it using the seb client settings.

Suppose the name of your seb settings is SebClientSettings1.seb and is located in server( apache- www) and directory-project.
Then the url that you should use to launch Seb will be-

seb://localhost/project/SebClientSettings1.seb

The documentation on the SEB web site is pretty good: http://safeexambrowser.org/news_en.html, and more specifically http://safeexambrowser.org/windows/win_usermanual_en.html#configuration. For questions that are more about SEB than Moodle, their forums may serve you better: https://sourceforge.net/p/seb/discussion/. Daniel Schneider and his colleagues are often very helpful.

Hi,

There are some potential problems with the Essential 2.7 theme in that theme/essential/layout/secure.php is not secure for the following reasons:

  1. Link back to Home page: Forbidden
  2. Layout contains a footer: Forbidden

To be on the safe side it may be better to use the Clean theme as a course theme for these quizes?

Mary
