Have a kind of Safe Exam Browser for tests/exams

[marcothijs]

With ChatGPT available any Python solution can be found in seconds during tests and exams. Would be good to a have a kind of Safe Exam Browser like in Bookwidgets that prevent students to access other applications or sites.

Yes please!

I'm afraid there is not much we can do here as a website 😞

We'll keep our eyes and ears open for solutions, but there's nothing planned in the near future.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm using Bookwidgets for tests at school and that is also a website (online platform). They use Safe Exam Browser, an extra piece of software that needs to be installed by the pupils so that they (when switched this mode on for a test) can't access other sites.

Safe Exam Browser does not seem to be compatible with Linux (only Windows, Mac OS and iOS).

[marcothijs]

Ok, didn't know that. Thanks for explaining.

A colleague of mine has used dodona with SEB. I'll ask him for the details.

[pdawyndt]

We're definitely open for a demo as well (we could organize a video call).

[jonathanvynck]

Seems like he just set up SEB so students can go to one of his courses in which he hid all exercises except the ones used for the exam.

I would really like an automatic SEB-integration in Dodona like Bookwidgets has.
It's a pain to set everything up manually for different exams, students, ...
