Building a Gimkit-style quiz from your own lessons

Teachers who want a classic review game usually start with the questions, not the game board. DeckOwl works as a Gimkit-style quiz maker for your own material: it writes the question set from your notes or slides so you can spend your time on teaching rather than typing.

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions generated from your own files
Explanations for each answer so students can see the reasoning
Free plan with 3 generations per month and browser study
Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export

Example electric circuits quiz questions

In a series circuit, what is the current through each resistor compared with the others?It is the same through every resistor, because a series circuit gives charge only one path to follow.

True or false: adding a second resistor in parallel across a battery lowers the total resistance.True. Parallel branches give current more paths, so the equivalent resistance is smaller than either branch alone.

A 12 V battery drives 3 A through a resistor. What is the resistance?4 ohms, since R = V / I = 12 / 3 = 4 Ω.

Why does a bulb light when a switch in its circuit is closed?A closed switch completes the loop so charge can flow through the bulb, while an open switch breaks the path.

What power is dissipated by a 6 Ω resistor carrying 2 A?24 W, since P = I²R = 2² × 6 = 24 W.

Questions from your own material

Upload a lecture PDF, a slide deck or typed notes and get questions based on what you actually taught.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and open question includes an explanation, so students learn why an answer is right.

Export when you need it

Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your learning management system.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of a page. Scanned pages are read with text recognition.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set sized for your review session.

Review and use

Check the questions and explanations, study in the browser, or export the set on a paid plan.

DeckOwl builds the question set and explanations; it does not host a live game. Once the questions are ready, you can study them in the browser on the free plan or export them as PDF or DOCX on Plus.

For classes that run quizzes through a learning management system, Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. Start on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month and no credit card, and upgrade when you need exports.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a review quiz on electric circuits have?

Ten to fifteen questions usually cover the main ideas without taking too long. Mix a few calculation questions, such as Ohm's law, with conceptual ones about series and parallel paths.

How do I check that a circuit question is correct?

Work the calculation yourself and compare it with the explanation, since units and sign conventions are where errors tend to appear. Read the explanation for any question that students miss most often.

Can I export the questions to Moodle?

Moodle XML export is included in the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are available on Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Is DeckOwl free to try?

Yes. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, though exports require a paid plan. Students get 40% off with a school email.
