Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a classroom quiz game include?

A set that fits one class period is usually enough, and shorter sets work well for review. Start with the terms your students missed on the last quiz.

How do I study names of things, like species or chemical compounds?

Group names by pattern, such as Latin binomials or systematic chemical names, and learn the common name alongside each one. Quiz yourself in both directions so you can recall the name and also identify the thing.

Can DeckOwl pick a Gimkit username or team name?

No. DeckOwl creates quiz questions from your study material, not names for games or accounts. Use a dedicated name generator for that step.

Can I export the questions to use in a game?

Free accounts study in the browser without exports. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
