When started, a student's WebLab account will be in exam mode and the student is only allowed to work on the exam from the browse session from which he/she started. In case the student logs in from another browser (tab) or device, he/she won't be able to continue from the new session, except when the student's exam ticket gets reset. A ticket can be reset by the course staff (i.e. it requires student to contact course staff), or by the student itself when tickets are set to be *reusable*. Also, the student will receive a warning message in case there is a change in network connection detected. This gets logged and course staff can view this information from the registrations page.

The `Restricted Exam Mode` controls whether students are allowed to view course content other than the exam assignments during the exam. When enabled (for closed-book exam), students can only access the exam assignment after they've started the exam. Note that this access restriction is most effective in an already controlled environment, like with on-campus exams (campus pc's load an environment with internet connection limited to WebLab, invigilators walking around). The access restriction only applies to the student's account from the moment they started the exam mode and it's outside WebLab's control to check that students have old browser tabs open, browse the internet, or use another (friend's) WebLab account to access the information on WebLab that's not part of the exam.

#### Exam Tickets - One time vs Reusable ticket
|
|
|
|
One-time tickets restrict students to finish their exam from one and the same browse session from which they started the exam. If, for whatever reason, the student needs to start a new browse session in WebLab (e.g. laptop died/computer restarted during the exam), only course staff will be able to reset the student's ticket in order to let him/her continue from another device/session:

|
|
|
#### Exam Tickets - Closed Book exam
|
|
With reusable tickets, students may switch device/log in from other browser (tab) and continue their exam submission from there:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When tickets are set to be reusable, it reduces communication overhead and administration by the student and course staff in case of a device switch or (browser) restart. However, it becomes easier to work on a single exam submission from different locations. Still, only one session can access the exam submission at a time, and changes in network location or browser session get logged in the registration overview that is available to course staff.
