3) Request for support: Safe Exam Browser and Moodle HQ integration project.

We are posting on behalf of Thomas Korner (Innovation Management & Head of Moodle Service, ETH Zürich) in regards to their free, open source "Safe Exam Browser" (SEB) see https://safeexambrowser.org/about_overview_en.html and their joint work with Moodle HQ.

The next phase of development for SEB will see significant improvements to the core integration of SEB with Moodle. This will bring usability improvements, improvements to reliability and the streamlining of the process for setting up and running secure e-exams in Moodle. This will simplify and strengthen the running of secure e-exams in campus labs and via bring your own laptops.

Plans are now in place with Moodle HQ and are formally part of the Moodle roadmap https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Roadmap - all that is required now is the funds to implement it! Currently the project has been crowd funded to 65% with universities in Europe having already committed significant funding.

Your support for this exciting digital assessment initiative would be greatly appreciated, work from which we will all benefit. Contribute a little or a lot - it all helps!
