Simple script to convert an HTML file of a completed Canvas quiz to a Quizlet flashcard set.
This project was started out of need, and served as a good exercise in parsing HTML with Regex (something I'm utilizing in a larger future project.)
You should begin with a completed Canvas quiz, where correct answers are marked:
Hit Ctrl-S to save the html file of the quiz. Run the script, canvas-to-quizlet.py, and when prompted paste the location of the quiz .html file into the Python console. Then paste the location of the desired output .txt file -- if none exists, one will be created.
Copy the entirety of the .txt file and import into Quizlet by creating a new set and selecting "+ Import from Word, Excel, Google Docs, etc." and pasting. Happy studying!
- Regardless of what you answered for a question, only the correct answer will be extracted
- Questions containing an image or table will be removed since Quizlet does not allow them to be imported
- Questions with the answer "All of the above" will be removed
