Convert notebooks to canvas quizzes

[phaustin]

Now working in https://github.com/bkchang-97/e340quizzes

• Use read api token from a .env file that's not checked in to git

• dump file listing to yaml for easy editing

• read edited file list and delete listed files from sandbox

• parameterize questions using https://pypi.org/project/papermill-jupytext/

• create pdf files for the student and solution notebooks

Just commenting progress here. The work for this is being done in this repo.

As of writing this comment the following is functional:

• Reading .md, .ipynb, and .json files for parsing
• Parsing the files, including converting latex to the Canvas format
• Multiple choice questions
• Question groups

Things to continue working on:

• When updating an existing quiz, don't add duplicate groups or questions
• Add all other question types
• Add references to other files such as images or hyperlinks

Then we can work on paramaterizing the quizzes.

All of the todos from my last comment are done.

that's great -- before we get to parameterization, I think it would be good to add a docs folder and start a jupyter-book markdown page, since this is getting more complex. At some point we'll figure out readthedocs, but for now just fake it with a github action to build a gh-pages deployment. Go ahead and free-associate as far as a walkthrough of what you've got so far. Put in placeholders for 1) working with a solution key notebook that can includes answers to questions that can be filtered out for the student version, 2) quiz parameterization 3) printing quizzes using paged_html_theme and trio_chrome.
