Build quizzes from your own notes for your educator account
DeckOwl is a separate AI quiz tool. Upload your slides, notes or PDFs and get questions with explanations, then study free or export on a paid plan.
Where DeckOwl fits next to your classroom tools
A Gimkit educator account is set up on Gimkit's own site, and DeckOwl is a separate tool that cannot sign you into it. What DeckOwl does is turn your own course material into quiz questions you can check and export. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of a page, and you get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations.
- Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page.
- Get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations.
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
- Students with a school email get 40% off, and no credit card is needed to start.

Many teachers use a short question set built from the week's slides as a quick check before class, which shows which ideas need another pass.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Gimkit educator account?
Sign up directly on Gimkit's website and follow its teacher sign-up steps, since DeckOwl cannot create or access that account. Check Gimkit's current options because its sign-up process can change.
What should a teacher check before uploading student work to an AI tool?
Confirm your school's policy and student privacy rules, such as FERPA in the United States, before uploading anything that contains student names or records. Use your own course material whenever possible.
Can I export DeckOwl quizzes to Moodle?
Yes, Moodle XML export is included on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month, and QTI 2.1 export is also on Pro. Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month covers PDF and DOCX export.
Is there a discount for students?
Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start on the free plan with 3 generations per month.
