                      4: 
                      5: Deployment of a Concept Test requires completion of the following three
                      6: steps:
                      7: 
                      8: \begin{enumerate}
                      9: \item Creation of a course and setting of access dates.
                     10: \item Assembly of a valid test from Concept Inventory questions
                     11: \item Enrollment of students
                     12: \end{enumerate}
                     13: When assembling a test you may either:\newline
                     14: (a) have a valid test built automatically by the WebCenter, or\newline
                     15: (b) select the questions to include by combining questions chosen from
                     16: eleven bins with four mandatory questions.
                     17: 
                     18: The most efficient way to enroll students is to upload a text file
                     19: containing usernames and passwords. \ Students full
                     20: e-mail addresses should be used as their usernames to ensure
                     21: uniqueness.
                     22: 
                     23: \begin{enumerate}

                     36: 
                     37: You have the option of letting the WebCenter create a valid test for
                     38: you. \ If you decide to build your own test, you will be taken to the
                     39: question bins area (see below){\dots} 
                     40:

                     44: 
                     45: Choose at least one question from each bin. There are four mandatory
                     46: questions that must be included on each test (for scaling purposes) and
                     47: hence, cannot be removed. \ Some of the GCI questions are
                     48: linked{\dots}meaning some questions are dependent upon one another.
                     49: \ If you choose a question that has a dependent, the WebCenter will
                     50: make sure that both are included in the exam. \ You will be able to see
                     51: any dependent question upon reviewing your selected test questions and
                     52: have the option to remove them if you like. \ When you have completed

                     84: make sure that you use a different email and password than the one you
                     85: use for the WebCenter login. \ The WebCenter needs to think that you
