A simple tool to convert Quiz Questions from the GIFT format to the QTI 2.0 format

Quiz format convertor from GIFT to QTI 1.2

This is a simple converter that lets you paste in GIFT formatted quiz questions like:

// multiple choice with specified feedback for right and wrong answers
::Q2:: What's between orange and green in the spectrum? 
{ =yellow # right; good! ~red # wrong, it's yellow ~blue # wrong, it's yellow }

And get them downloaded as QTI 1.2 for import into lots of systems like Sakai and Canvas.

GIFT seems to be a micro-format invented by the Moodle community - and a pretty cool idea if I do say so myself. I like it because I can put quizzes in GitHub :)

You can play with my demo server at:

https://www.tsugi.org/gift2qti/

This is an early version and only supports multipla choice, true/false, and essay question types. Other types wont' be hard - but I ran out of time.

You can also set up your own server if you have a computer with PHP. Download or clone this repository and then navigate to the directory and run the following command to run a webserver.

php -S localhost:8000

Then open a browser and use localhost:8000 as the address in your browser's navigation bar.
