How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file or pasted notes from your class.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the set.

Practice and review

Work through the questions in your browser and review the explanations for any you missed.

Frequently asked questions

How many practice questions should I do at once when studying Greek mythology?

Ten to fifteen questions per session is a good target for most students. Short sessions repeated over several days help you remember who did what better than one long cram.

How can I remember the family trees of the Greek gods?

Draw the family tree from memory, then check it against your notes and fix the gaps. Focus first on the Titans, then on Zeus and his siblings, since most later stories depend on them.

Does DeckOwl run a Gimkit-style game?

No. DeckOwl generates the questions and explanations from your material, but it does not host a live game mode. You can use the questions in whatever game or quiz format your class already uses.

Can I export my quiz questions?

Yes, on paid plans. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
