I need some function in Canvas LMS available for Admins/Instructors that, based on a given quiz (New Quizzes!), generates a printable version of it. This function should adjust the layout of different question types to a format suitable for solving on paper and allow for downloading the quiz in a .doc or .pdf file format for possible further editing. Interactive questions in the digital version should be converted into the appropriate textual format for print. For example, a multiple-choice question would be converted into a simple text format, with the "Question Stem" first, followed by the answer options listed as A, B, C.
Another example is a "Matching" question, which in the print version could have two columns: one with the questions and the other with shuffled answers. In that paper version student should have possibilty to connected by a line the answers from the right column. Alternatively, the items in the left column (Questions) could be labeled with letters, and the items in the right column (Answers) could be labeled with numbers. In the printed version, students would match the lettered question with the corresponding numbered answer.
Similarly, other question types would need to be adapted for print, excluding questions containing video/audio files, which require playback devices and are not suitable for a paper version.
