What is SEB Safe Exam Browser FOR MAC?

Safe Exam Browser

Safe Exam Browser is a super simple web browser designed to help you take online exams securely.

What Does Safe Exam Browser Do?

This software transforms any computer into a secure testing station. It makes sure that students can’t access any unauthorized tools or resources during their exams. Pretty neat, right?

How Does It Work?

SEB takes away some common features to keep things safe. For example, it disables the OS X Dock, the process switcher (you know, the cmd+Tab trick), and even the Force Quit window (that’s cmd+opt+Esc). Plus, it hides applications and prevents printing or using Exposé. You can also set it up so users need a special password to quit SEB if needed!

No Extra Clicks Here!

When you're using SEB, there’s no right-click menu or pop-up windows to distract you. Any links that would normally open in a new window will just pop up in your single SEB browser window instead. This keeps everything contained and focused on your exam.

Support for Multimedia

The browser supports QuickTime, Java, and Flash content too! Just make sure you have the Flash plugin installed on your system for everything to run smoothly.

Built on Reliable Technology

The SEB for Mac uses the WebKit browser engine—yep, that's what Safari and Apple Mail use too! This helps keep things consistent across different platforms. Just a heads up: there might be some minor differences with how web pages are displayed in platforms like Ilias and Moodle. So it's smart to test everything before exam day!

Your Safety Is Key!

The best part? SEB uses its own version of the WebKit framework. This means updates from Apple Safari won’t mess with how SEB works with your quizzes.
