How it works
Add your material
Paste video transcript text or upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes file or photo of a page.
Choose the question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions and how many you want.
Take and review the quiz
Answer the questions, read the explanations and retake the ones you missed.
Transcripts from lectures and tutorials often contain more detail than you can remember after one viewing. A quiz built from that text tests recall of the specific points the speaker made.
If your course also gives you slides or handouts, upload those too and mix them into the same quiz so the questions cover the whole lesson.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a quiz on a video lesson have?
Five to ten questions cover a typical short lesson well. For a longer video, split the transcript into sections and generate a quiz for each one.
How do I study a video lesson for a quiz?
Pause at each key point and write a one-sentence summary in your own words. Then quiz yourself from the transcript without rewatching, and retry the missed questions a day later.
Can DeckOwl make a quiz directly from a video file?
No, it does not accept video files. Paste the transcript or subtitle text instead, or upload slides, PDFs, DOCX files or notes.
Does DeckOwl let me export quizzes?
Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro.
