WebTest Custom Directions
Instructors can add custom directions to a WebTest which will display to students on the WebTest introduction page.
These directions can also include links that automatically open in a new window, giving students easy access to additional resources or materials to use with the test.
Note: Links are not currently supported with WebTests using Respondus LockDown Browser or Monitor.
