a command-line python based tool for teachers who use canvas.
you can download from canvas_tool.pyz from latest release.
run it with python3 canvas_tool.pyz or python canvas_tool.pyz.
you will need to grab a "token" from your canvas account. go to the canvas webpage -> click on Account in the upper left -> click Settings -> scroll down and click the New Access Token button. you will need to put the token in a configuration file. python3 canvas_tool.pyz help-me-setup will tell you how and where to create that configuration file.
at this point the main thing this tool does is grade discussion assignments for participation: 1 point for posting and 1 point for replying.
it also will collect names and categories of assignments that past students excelled at for writing future letters of recommendation.
