Hallgrim - an ILIAS task generator in Python
Usage
Invoke the script with python3 gen.py -h in order to see usage. Very limited
until now.
Example scripts can be found in scripts/.
A first version of the tool that relied on autoilias is still in the repository
(see generator.py). It will be removed as soon as the necessary features are
implemented.
TODO
- Add a good description / documentation.
- Add instruction to produce multiple (parametrized) instances of a single question.
- Add more functionality (gap, alignment, etc.)
- Make parsers more robust.
- reverse ILIAS authentication mechanism for automated upload.
Notes
The final data is produced in three steps:
- A python script file with predefined structure that has to export certain variables in a specified format.
- An intermediate representation (probably an array that contains relevant data and assumes unknown properties)
- The XML structure for one or multiple questions, readable by Ilias.
- An Ilias object packed as .zip file, ready for upload.
