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.
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.
