Turn your own notes into WH questions for class review
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get who, what, where, when, why and how questions with clear answers, ready to use in a game-style review.
Why generate your own WH questions
Most teachers running a game-style review start by writing WH questions from the chapter they are covering, since who, what, where, when, why and how prompts work for almost any subject. A ready-made set rarely matches your slides or your textbook, so the questions end up off-target. Generating them from your own material keeps the review aligned with what you actually taught.
- Write questions that match your exact slides or textbook, not a generic list.
- Mix WH prompts with multiple choice or true/false for variety during review.
- Each question includes an explanation so students learn from wrong answers.
- Start free with 3 generations per month and no credit card.
Questions from your material
DeckOwl reads your PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text or photographed pages and writes questions based only on what is in them.
Multiple formats
Choose open-ended WH prompts, multiple choice, or true/false, and each question comes with an explanation of the answer.
Review in the browser
Run through the questions in your browser on the free plan, then export when you need a file to print or share.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slides, a document or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Pick WH or other formats
Ask for open questions that start with who, what, where, when, why and how, or mix in multiple choice and true/false.
Review and export
Check the questions and answers, edit anything that needs changing, then export if you have a paid plan.
Paste or upload the lesson and DeckOwl drafts open-ended questions with answers, then adds explanations you can read aloud or check against the source. You can keep the questions that fit, rewrite the rest and repeat until the set is right for your class.

Frequently asked questions
How many WH questions should I write for a digestive system review?
Aim for at least one or two questions per organ, plus a few that connect organs, such as how food moves from the mouth to the small intestine. A focused set of 15 to 20 questions is usually enough for one class session.
What makes a good WH question about the digestive system?
Good ones ask for a specific function or location, like what bile does, where most absorption happens, or why stomach acid does not damage the stomach lining. Avoid questions that can be answered with a single guess, and include the reasoning in the answer.
Can I export WH questions to Moodle or QTI?
Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Yes, the free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan, and students get 40% off with a school email.
