MoreSafeExamBrowser creates a secure kiosk browser environment for online exams. It locks down an iOS device, preventing students from switching to other apps, accessing unauthorized websites, or communicating with others during an assessment.
It operates in a single app mode, effectively turning the device into an assessment kiosk. This prevents students from cheating by accessing external resources or other applications. The app can also automatically end the lockdown mode after submission or be manually exited with a quit password.
