How a student logs in & opens the assignment (all device types)

Last updated

This article helps guide your students on how to log in and open their assignments on Trelson Assessment, depending on the device they are using and the selected security client. The instructions are tailored so that students can follow them on their own.

If you are a teacher using Trelson for the first time, we recommend borrowing a student computer to test it yourself to understand exactly how it works. Create an assignment in your teacher view in Trelson and select the security client your students will use. Then, add your own Google account as a student and test the entire flow on the borrowed/student computer.

Instructions depending on the device type the student has and the security client chosen by the teacher

Note: 

  • If something doesn’t work, your computer may have an outdated version of Safe Exam Browser installed. Ask an administrator for help to get the latest version installed.
  • When using Safe Exam Browser as a security client, there are certain limitations. For example, you cannot listen to audio files stored on a USB. Speech-to-text also does not work in Safe Exam Browser.
  • If you have opened a resource that is difficult to close, you can switch tabs at the bottom left to return to the Trelson assignment.
