[Athen] Safe Exam Browser and Moodle

[Ron Stewart]

I do not have any experience with this particular product but in general
they often present issues for users of AT in particular Screen Readers and
Voice Recognition since they block access to the underlying systems that
make these tools work.

 

I did a quick look through the minimal product documentation that is
available and there is no reference to any topic even close to AT support
that I could find.

Hello everyone,

 

Has anyone had experience installing and running the Safe Exam Browser from
http://safeexambrowser.org? We have had a request to use this in conjunction
with proctoring on-line examinations. I have not been able to find any
comments concerning how it works with screen readers or other accessibility
devices. The software would be installed in a managed lab setting where
files cannot be saved beyond a reboot.

 

Thanks in advance for any comments or ideas.
