At my university we had an issue with some foreign students using their 'translators' to download the entire book before the exam. Translators can be mini-computers with full storage capabilities, even if not networked during an exam. Because we require English proficiency, we no longer allow translator use during an exam. For an open book exam this is obviously not an issue, but something that I was unaware of until this issue arose.
