Safe Exam Browser Installation Instructions—Windows
The live assessment can be accessed only through the Safe Exam Browser (SEB) using a valid configuration file. The SEB is a specialized web browser that restricts students’ access to external tools and resources while they are taking the assessment. The SEB-configuration file regulates access to system functions, other applications and other settings, while also pointing the SEB to the assessment and performing a special “handshake” to validate security.
You can download Safe Exam Browser for Windows through the following link: https://moodle.glctschool.com/tool/SafeExamBrowser-Windows.exe (version 3.3.0)
Installing the SEB on Windows
Please note: The assessment is compatible up to version 3.3.0 of the SEB.
2. Once the download is complete, run the SafeExamBrowser-Windows.exe file to initiate the installation.
You will be asked to allow the installation to make changes on your device. You must give this permission to proceed.
3. A window with an installation wizard will open. Click Next to proceed. Select “I accept the terms in the license agreement.” Click Install and then Finish.
4. Please don’t run Safe Exam Browser just yet.
Loading the SEB-Configuration File
In order to access the assessment, the system needs to be opened through the Safe Exam Browser using an SEB-configuration file. This file opens to a login screen, which then opens directly to the assessment.
You will need to enter “1978” to open the configuration file.
Download the SEB-Configuration File: https://moodle.greatlakeshs.ca/tool/SebClientSettings.seb
Please note that the software should not be opened directly. The SEB-configuration file in the downloads folder must be double-clicked.
