Create a Canvas quiz based on a quiz Rmd file using library(examiner).

This R markdown "output format" creates a Canvas quiz based on the currently active Rmd file. The body of the quiz file becomes the "description" of the quiz, and one question gets added to the Canvas quiz based on each question file specified in the questions field in the YAML header. To use this output format, specify output: examiner::canvas at the top level of the quiz file's YAML header.

Usage

canvas()

Value

Output format object created by rmarkdown::output_format()

Details

For compatibility with WISEflow "items" (sections), the questions field in the YAML header of the quiz Rmd file can have either of two formats:

questions:

  - question_one.Rmd

  - question_two.Rmd

or

questions:

  First section:

    - question_one.Rmd

    - question_two.Rmd

  Second section:

    - question_three.Rmd

In the bottom example, the Canvas quiz will have the text "First section" and "Second section" as a text_only_question before their respective questions.
