Canvas导入测验描述缺失及测验分类调整问题咨询

一、测验描述导入后不显示的问题 #

你当前代码里用的adescription参数，对应的是Canvas中**作业（Assignment）**的描述，而非测验（Quiz）本身的描述。XML里的描述如果是对应测验的，需要改用description参数指定：

exams2canvas(c("swisscapital.Rmd"), 
             stitle = c("Section 1", "Section 2"), 
             description = "This short quiz is for us (the lecturers) to get a sense of where the maths skills of the cohort are at.",
             # 不需要分节描述的话可以删除sdescription参数
             name = "Preliminary Maths Skills Assessment", 
             converter =  "pandoc-mathml")

调整后重新生成XML导入，检查<quiz>标签下的<description>字段是否已包含目标内容，就能解决输入框为空的问题。

二、将测验归类到“Practice quizzes” #

exams2canvas支持通过canvas_options参数指定测验类型，直接归类到Practice quizzes，修改代码如下：

exams2canvas(c("swisscapital.Rmd"), 
             stitle = c("Section 1", "Section 2"), 
             description = "This short quiz is for us (the lecturers) to get a sense of where the maths skills of the cohort are at.",
             name = "Preliminary Maths Skills Assessment", 
             converter =  "pandoc-mathml",
             canvas_options = list(quiz_type = "practice_quiz"))

该参数会修改生成XML中的测验类型字段，导入Canvas后自动归到Practice quizzes分类下。
