Add Instructions for Students

Students will need to open Natural Reader during their exam to have questions read aloud. Be sure to include the site link so they can access it directly from the quiz instructions.

1. Edit the quiz Instructions in Canvas.
   
   

2. Add a direct link to the Natural Reader online tool:
   
   

3. Use full URLs (not hyperlinks only) so the site opens in a new tab within LockDown Browser.

Student Use

Students should be familiar with the site, but they will copy text from the test and paste into the Natural Reader tab in order to have the question read.
