Quiz Generator Alexa Skill

Overview

This repository includes all of the projects for creating the alexa-stream-handler Lambda and the write-quiz-lambda Lambda, the two Lambdas needed for the Quiz Generator Alexa Skill project. The Alexa Stream Handler uses the services provided by the lex-lambda project to trigger the write-quiz-lambda Lambda, which will pull the file from Canvas and create a text document quiz from it.
