Information on BYOD for teachers is available as part of the EXAM Moodle Miniguide
Warning to MacOS users
If your laptop is shutdown while working in SEB, it may lock the account.
Create an account especially for SEB and use SEB in that account only.


Install Safe Exam Browser (SEB)
  1. On your laptop, install Safe Exam Browser from the SEBIcon_40_2x.png SEB Download page, or as follows: Opening Safe Exam Browser from Applications will start SEB with the default configuration.
    However, you will need to use SEB with the HUJI configuration. So...
  2. Install the HUJIhujiSEB configuration file as follows:


Launch Safe Exam Browser
To open SEB with the HUJI configuration, double click on the downloaded HUJI SEB configuration file (HUJI-Windows.seb or HUJI-MacOS.seb).
In MacOS a popup will appear:
"Safe Exam Browser" is an app downloadedfrom the Internet.
Are you sure you want to
open it?
Click on Open.
After SEB opens, a popup will appear:
SEB Re-Configured
New settings have been saved,
they will be used when you start SEB next time again.
Do you want to start
working with SEB or quit for now?
Whether you choose to quit or continue, the HUJI configuration will be saved.
So from now on, SEB in Applications will also use the HUJI configuration.
Note: This popup will appear only when you open SEB from the file rather than from Applications.


Connect to the exams-test network
  • Ensure that your laptop is connected to the correct wireless network for the exam that you will be taking.
    You will be probably be required to use the exams-test network.
    Authentication to the exams-test network is with username moodle_exams and password exams_moodle.
    Note: Only EXAM Moodle is accessible from the exams-test network.


Check that it works
  1. Set up your demo exam as follows:
    1. In any browser, on any computer, go to:
    2. Authenticate
    Now...

  2. Attempt the demo exam as follows:
    On your laptop:
    1. Connect to the exams-test network (if you chose the first of the above two links).
    2. Launch Safe Exam Browser. The EXAM Moodle login page should open.
    3. Authenticate
    4. If you correctly installed SEB and the SEB file (and are connected to the exams-test network if you chose the first link), you will be redirected to the demo exam.
      Otherwise, EXAM Moodle will exit with an error message.
    5. Clicking on Finish exam and then on Submit exam will redirect you back to the login page.
    6. Click on link Quit SEB* at bottom right of the login page to close SEB.
    7. Connect back to your previous network.
You can do the demo exam as often as you wish, but each time you must first set it up.
*Note: The Quit SEB link appears only in SEB and only if opened with the HUJI configuration.

Note for Teachers: If your demo exam prevents you accessing EXAM Moodle in the usual way, you can delete it at https://exam2.cs.huji.ac.il/byodemo/delete
