Converter from latex to edX XML format course content files.
Project description
Python script to convert moodle course content to edX
This script takes a moodle backup file (.mbz) as input, and produces as output an edX course in XML format (http://data.edx.org).
moodle2edx handles conversion of the following moodle activities:
url
label
resource
page
quiz (only partial implementation)
Static content is also converted. Relative links also mostly work.
Requirements
lxml, html2text
Installation
pip install -e git+https://github.com/mitocw/moodle2edx.git#egg=moodle2edx
Usage
Usage: moodle2edx [options] [moodle_backup.mbz | moodle_backup_dir]
- Options:
- --version
show program’s version number and exit
- -h, --help
show this help message and exit
- -c, --clean-up-html
clean up html to be proper xhtml
- -v, --verbose
verbose error messages
- -d OUTPUT_DIR, --output-directory=OUTPUT_DIR
Directory name for output course XML files
- -o ORG, --org=ORG
organization to use in edX course XML
- -s SEMESTER, --semester=SEMESTER
semester to use for edX course (no spaces)
Examples
As can be seen from these examples, moodle2edx provides a functional way to get pages from moodle into edX. The locations of the content are sub-ideal, but provide a working starting point for editing using edX Studio. Translation of moodle assessments into edX problems is mostly incomplete.
History
v1.0: python package; unit tests; modular code
