Presentation¶

AMCtoOwncloud is a Nautilus script that sends Auto Multiple Choice (AMC) annotated papers to Owncloud/Nextcloud and share them with the corresponding students.

Each quiz file is uploaded to a remote folder unique to each student. Then each folder is:

• shared with the student who can be a local user or a remote user on another federated server
• shared by link

Eventually, shared links are saved to a newly created .csv file (default behaviour) or to the current .csv file.

In the end, the remote folder structure will look like this:

Quizzes/
├── 3emeE/
|   ├── MOUSE Mickey (3998) - Maths Quizzes/
│   │   └── Quiz 1 - MOUSE Mickey (3998).pdf
│   └── MOUSE Minnie (3999) - Maths Quizzes/
│       └── Quiz 1 - MOUSE Minnie (3999).pdf
└── 4emeE/
    └── DUCK Donald (4999) - Maths Quizzes/
        └── Quiz 1 - DUCK Donald (3999).pdf

The root folder Quizzes/, Quiz 1, and Maths Quizzes are configurable, and the other fields come from the `.csv` file.
I use this script to avoid sending emails.
