Word2Quiz

Converts word document quizzes to a Word2Quiz::Quiz, which can be converted to a hash or to an Instructure canvas hash format.

This gem uses antiword to parse doc files. On a mac: brew install antiword

On ubuntu: sudo apt-get install antiword

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'word_2_quiz'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install word_2_quiz

Expects a docx quiz where every question is on a new line started with a number followed by a period, and every answer is below each question. Every answer is on a new line, and begins with a letter followed by a period. The title is assumed to be on lines 3 & 4, and the description is generated from lines 0-5 of the quiz.

The answer key should be in a doc file, where each solution consists of a number and an answer - e.g 1. C 2.B

To get the parse the quiz, run quiz = Word2Quiz.parse_quiz("path/to/quiz.docx", "path/to/solutions.doc")

To get the quiz as a hash, run quiz.to_h

To get the quiz for creating on canvas run quiz.to_canvas

To get the quiz questions for creating on canvas run quiz.questions_as_canvas
