Hacks for Educators
I use Canvas (the LMS) a LOT for the classes I teach and, since I'm a hobbyist programmer, I enjoy writing little tools/scripts to help me create html code "snippets" that I can post into the html editor of my Canvas pages (e.g., striped tables, FAQs, flashcard-like study cards, an interactive story creator, and more). I've also written a plaintext to QTI quiz converter since creating quizzes on Canvas is so slow (I realize, of course, many other people have already made these... I just happen to like mine). It currently supports fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, matching, true/false and word bank style questions. You can also generate a printable (DOCX) version of whatever quizzes you make. Here's the site: https://www.hacksforeducators.com All the tools are free, and there's no login required. So if you are a teacher that uses Canvas and think any of these tools could help you, check them out!
