(EN) VIRTUAL CLASSROOM: Safe Exam Browser

SEB is a custom web browser that must be downloaded and installed on the device used to answer the "Questionnaire." It allows you to add the following restrictions:

Students can only take the "Questionnaire" from within SEB.
The SEB window has the forward and back navigation disabled, and it does not have a search field or URL field. It cannot be closed until the "Questionnaire" is submitted.
Access to specific websites, pages, or resources can be granted during the "Questionnaire" using a URL filter.
Shortcut key combinations (Win + Tab, Alt + Tab, Ctrl + Alt + Delete, Alt + F4, Print Screen, Cmd + Tab, etc.) and the screenshot function are disabled.
Verify that the "Questionnaire" is only accessible from the browser used to open it.
Navigation to other sections of the platform or external sites is not permitted.
It allows you to detect the location and browser so that the quiz can only be taken from specific workstations.

The user can install SEB directly from the "Quiz" itself. This only needs to be done the first time, and it will remain installed. The steps are as follows:

Access the "Quiz" from the course page.
Click on "Download Safe Exam Browser"

NOTE: Please be aware of the following risks:

SEB is primarily designed for centralized installations, such as computer labs.

It does not offer 100% copy protection.

It can only be used on Windows, macOS, and iOS operating systems.

It is NOT available for Linux, Android, etc.

To take the exam, ALL USERS (students) must have the software installed on their computer. It should be noted again that a student with Linux installed on their computer WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE EXAM.

The configuration process is somewhat complex for both students and teachers.
