How to block concurrent connections to a quiz?

Users are only allowed to log in to ODTÜClass once. With this setting, after logging into ODTÜClass from a device or browser, if the user logs in on a second device or browser, the session on the first device is terminated. However, in order to terminate the session on the first device, students must click a button or link on the first device. 

In addition you can "Block concurrent connections" to a quiz activity. This add-on prevents a student from starting an attempt in the quiz activity with more than one device and/or browser. If the student needs to change the device, closes the internet browser accidentally or internet connection is lost, the instructors must let the student to continue the exam via a different connection. Therefore, if you will enable this option, please inform your students and provide a communication option (email, chat, etc.) during the exam for students to inform you when they need to change connection.
