Converts QTI (LMS quiz format) in Canvas export package to other formats.
This Python code is provided as-is and enhancements are welcome. The goal is to provide a simple script for converting QTI XML files into other formats, like PDF and Word. Even if these quizes are made digital-first, some teachers want to print them out to paper, for which there is no straightforward way today as I know about.
Uses pipenv for package dependencies. Install pipenv with pip install pipenv then run pipenv install to install needed packages in virtual environment.
Note: This code has only been tested with Canvas export packages. They need to be unzipped first.
Specify the input file using either a relative or absolute path. Ensure the path is correctly set based on your current working directory.
