Moodle Quiz - Activity CompletionPlease note if you have enabled Activity completion, then the 'Require view' field MUST be unselected. Otherwise, this can slow down student access during their attempt. Please refer to the Recommended Moodle Quiz Settings checklist. |
Overview
Moodle Quizzes can be run so that students complete the Quiz in a locked down browser called Safe Exam Browser (SEB). The Safe Exam Browser restricts what a student can do whilst completing the Quiz. Typically, the student will be unable to access any other application or web page on their computer apart from the Quiz itself.
Moodle's Safe Exam Browser is one of many approaches to supporting academic integrity, and should be considered in the context of assessment design for academic integrity.
Note. Moodle Quiz Safe Exam browser is not recommended for non-invigilated online exams, as a student could easily have multiple computer devices and thus locking down one will be ineffective.
If you are looking for guidance on running a invigilated exam without Moodle's Safe Exam Browser, see the Moodle invigilated online exam guidance.
If you are running a summative test or exam in Moodle, as well as referring to the Module Assessment guidance in the Academic Manual, you also need to use this guidance and checklist to ensure you have set up the Quiz or Assignment properly and have considered what to do in case anything goes wrong with the technology.

- You should provide students with a practice Safe Exam Browser exam before the day of the actual exam so that students can install and test Safe Exam Browser works on their own device.
- You must set a Quit password if students are completing the Quiz on an iPad. Otherwise, the iPad will not lock down the screen and students will be able to change applications.
- You can add PDFs to the Quiz by creating a link in the text of a question or in the text of a description. Ensure that links are set to open in a new window so that students aren’t taken away from the quiz page. You should open the PDF and then add the URL to the file to the the list of allowed URLS in the Safe Exam Browser settings. Always print out spares of any PDF document to have just in case.
- Students who require specific accessibility tools such as a screen reader will need to sit their own version of the Quiz without the Safe Exam Browser to use their assistive technology or a custom configuration (option C above) will need to be configured and tested.
- Students may need to authenticate their account using MFA when they log on to Safe Exam Browser which will require their phone.
