Quick Guide

This document is a step by step tutorial that explains how to set up SEB and run secure online-exams in a learning management system.

Step 1: Download SEB and required extension
Step 2: Install SEB
Step 3: Install required extension
Step 4: Connect between browser and test
Step 5: Start the test

Step 1: Download SEB and required extension

Go to the download area and download SEB (newest release) and the required extension (e. g. Skin "Naviless" for ILIAS).

Unzip the files

Step 2: Install SEB

SEB does not need to be installed in the application folder. To start the browser open first the folder SEB and then double click Seb.exe. A shortcut on the desktop can be created with a right click on the Seb.exe-File.

CAUTION: Before you start SEB make sure you remember the shortcut to exit the browser! Default: F3 + F11 + F6 (press keys in that order and hold them pressed)

Step 3: Install required extension

Further information about how to install the Skin "Naviless" on your ILIAS Installation: ILIAS Information Center

Further information about how to install the extension for Moodle is available in the read me-file which is attached to the download file.

Step 4: Connect between browser and test

When you start SEB the sourceforge site gets launched (default). To change the start URL of SEB you can open the folder SEB>SebFirefox and then double click on start-firefox.bat. Please note: The browser Firefox need to be closed first.

Fill in the URL to the LMS installation or a direct Link to the test, click OK and then close the window.

Double click Seb.exe to start the test.
Close the browser: F3 + F11 + F6 (press keys in that order and hold them pressed)
