This article is for institutions that are either existing Inspera customers or are considering implementing Inspera. 

If you are a candidate, please refer to your institution’s own guidance on taking an assessment using the Inspera platform. Your institution may impose different requirements to our minimum specification.

The minimum system requirements depend on which configuration of Inspera you are using:

• Inspera Assessment (open book, no lockdown or proctoring)
• Inspera Assessment with Inspera Integrity Browser (Lockdown with or without proctoring)
• Inspera Assessment or an LMS with Inspera Recorded, Record & Review and Live Proctoring
• Inspera Assessment with Safe Exam Browser (Lockdown using SEB)

Each of these has a separate dedicated article. This article coveres Inspera Assessment with Safe Exam Browser.

Inspera Assessment with Safe Exam Browser (SEB)

Inspera Assessment can be combined with Safe Exam Browser (SEB) to provide a lockdown environment to prevent candidates from accessing anything else on the computer for the duration of their assessment.  SEB is third-party software not written by Inspera.

Ensure a range of browsers are at their disposal in the event one does not function as expected.

SEB minimum requirements

Operating system

The following operating systems are required for SEB on Inspera Assessment:

Chrome OS does not support SEB and is only available through the Kiosk app on managed Chromebooks. The Kiosk app and computers must be centrally managed by the institution with licenses.
