DeckOwl does not host live game rounds with a room code. What it does is produce the question bank: you review it in the browser, see why each answer is right, and keep returning to the items you missed. Because the questions come from your material, you can check them against the source before you use them.

If you need the same questions in another system, the Plus and Pro plans add exports. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I write for a renewable energy unit?

Aim for enough questions to cover each source in your unit at least twice, usually 15 to 25 across solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biomass. Spreading them out this way tests recall of each concept instead of repeating one idea.

How do I study renewable energy sources with quizzes?

Start with true/false questions to check basic facts, then move to multiple-choice questions that compare sources. Read the explanation after every miss and retry those questions a day or two later.

Can I export these quizzes to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on Plus at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month.
