Doing online school or working remotely while in sunnah itikaaf

Q: A school student wants to sit for Itikaaf but he will have to do online school in Itikaaf. Is he allowed to do this while in Sunnah Itikaaf? 

Is a university student allowed to study his text book material in the Masjid? 

Is a working class person allowed to take his laptop with in Sunnah Itikaaf and do his work?

A: He rather do nafl itikaaf and do the online schooling and studying outside the musjid.
