MicroTest Pro includes a feature that lets instructors create a test on their desktop PC that can be directly uploaded to WebCT. Full support of HTML is included so that bold, italic, underline, sub and superscript are preserved in the uploaded test. Graphics within questions are automatically converted to GIF files so that they can be uploaded to WebCT as well.

Several college textbook publishers provide MicroTest Pro compatible test item banks to their textbook adopters. Contact your publisher’s sales representative for availability.

MicroTest Pro is available for computers running Windows 98 through Windows XP and Macintosh computers with Mac OS X.
