 If you authenticate students via their Passport York account, when they go to submit using web submit, they won't have to login again!
-For your convenience, the Passport York module passes additional variables which can be used by custom scripts including:
-  * HTTP_PYORK_VERSION - PassportYork version
-  * HTTP_PYORK_USER - PassportYork username
-  * HTTP_PYORK_SESSION_ID - PassportYork session ID
-  * HTTP_PYORK_CYIN - student number/employee number

   * If a student visits the labtest start page from the host O/S, and not the VM, then, when they go to submit their files, they won't see any of the files that they've worked on. Instead, they'll see the empty home directory from the host O/S.  Simply ask the student to close Firefox on the host O/S, and open it in the VM.
   * Items in regular labtest that do NOT appear in laptop labtest: automatic rebooting of laptops, automatic warnings at the end of the test, SecureQ (it's available and does work, but is impossible if the laptops are laid out randomly), and labtest file synchronization
-**Added Feb 2018**
+  * In your test page, a web link to "/common" will point to the equivalent of https://www.eecs.yorku.ca/teaching/common.  These resources will be accessible during labtest.
-  * /common is now available in laptop labtest mode so the various sources can be placed in the directory to be accessed during labtest
+====== Laptop Labtest FAQ ======
+== How can I test my labtest? ==
+  - Borrow a laptop from the PRISM Lab (LAS1006).
+  - Let tech know the name of the laptop that you've borrowed, and where you will be running the test.  The laptop will need an IP address on the subnet where you will be doing the testing, and will need to be placed into labtest mode by tech.
+  - Connect the laptop to the network with an Ethernet cable, and turn it on.  The laptop should report that it's in labtest mode.
+== How can students access additional resources like Java API, etc. during labtest mode? ==
+The same set of resources that is available outside labtest mode here: https://www.eecs.yorku.ca/teaching/common is available in labtest mode if you include a link in your web page to "/common".
