For Schools
Safe Exam Browser Linux is designed to make online exams simple and secure for schools, universities, and training organizations. Here is how your institution can get started.
Integrating SEB Linux
SEB Linux works with popular learning management systems including Moodle and ILIAS. Your exam platform can detect when a student is using SEB and verify the session is secure.
To integrate SEB Linux with your exam environment:
- Install SEB Linux on the computers in your exam room or lab.
- Configure your exam settings using a configuration file that specifies which websites are allowed and what security rules apply.
- Share the configuration with students, either as a download link or embedded in your learning management system.
- Students launch SEB and the exam opens automatically in the locked-down browser.
Distribution
SEB Linux can be distributed to students in several ways:
- Pre-installed on lab computers - Install SEB on your exam room machines before the exam.
- Portable AppImage - Students can download and run SEB without installing anything.
- Configuration links - Students click a link on your exam portal that launches SEB with the right settings.

- Cross-platform compatibility - configuration files work across Linux, Windows, and macOS versions of SEB.
