A Django-powered web application to import/export Canvas QTI test banks, manage in-class test questions, and generate hardcopy exams and answer keys in HTML (Word-friendly) format.

Instructors spend hours copying and formatting questions from Canvas into paper exams. QuizPress solves this by importing Canvas QTI files, managing question metadata, editing and tracking question attributes, generating neatly formatted HTML exams and red/blue answer keys for Word, and exporting back to QTI or Excel. Multi-user roles (Webmaster, Publisher, Teacher) with access control.
