canvassearch.html, canvassearch.php, canvassearch.js
A sample web interface for doing search/replace/append across a variety of item types, without having to adjust the code everytime. There is a copy of this on my website, but you really should only trust a version you host yourself with your Canvas token.

This folder contains some scripts for generating QTI files. These are not elegant scripts.

wordtoquiz*.html
The three wordtoquiz*.html files are designed to take multiple-choice quizzes pasted into a TinyMCE editor, and export a QTI file. They were written to use MyOpenMath's existing TinyMCE install, so would need to be adjusted for local use. They can be use d live at myopenmath.com/util/wordtoquiz*.html.

xmltocanvas.php
Designed to take a directory of XML files describing quizzes and convert them into QTI files. The interesting part in these is adding handling for answer-specific feedback.
