Exact resource controls
Define the page or site an exam requires instead of opening an unrestricted browser.
The product experience
One assessment workflow. The right controls for each role.
Safe Online Exam adds focused controls to Canvas without asking every participant to become a Safe Exam Browser expert.
For instructors
Configure the assessment where the work already happens.
Open Safe Online Exam from course navigation, choose the assessment, and start with a clear required setup. Advanced choices stay available without crowding the first decision.
- Discover Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes in one course view
- Start from course defaults and override only what this assessment needs
- Require an exit password and optionally add a student start password
- Allow exact URLs, approved sites, and named exam tools
For students
Make the secure path easier to follow.
Students begin on the Canvas assessment page. Safe Online Exam checks readiness, opens the approved configuration, and completes the handoff without asking them to copy an access code.
- Run a safe setup check before the real assessment
- Launch from the quiz page with a normal system prompt
- Use instructor-approved tools in a controlled window
- Finish through Canvas or use an instructor-assisted exit when needed
