Turn news articles into AI quizzes with explanations
Upload a news article, slides or class notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with a clear explanation.
Studying news for class or a quiz
Students who type Gimkit news usually want updates about the Gimkit quiz game, and DeckOwl does not publish product news. What it does well is turn a news story you already have into practice questions.
- Ask what the main claim of the article is and which source supports it.
- Test the date and location of key events so you can place the story in context.
- Separate facts from opinions and quote attribution in your own questions.
- Review missed questions first, since those are the claims you are most likely to confuse.
Quizzes from any article
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a printed article and get questions based on its content.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with an explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct, not just which option to pick.
Exports on paid plans
Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro. The free plan studies in the browser.
How it works
Upload the article
Add the news story or reading as a file, pasted text, or a photo of the page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, then generate your quiz.
Review and quiz yourself
Check the explanations, then study the questions with spaced repetition until the facts stick.
A useful news quiz tests the main claim, who said it, the date, and whether the evidence is firsthand or secondhand. Generating questions from the article itself keeps the quiz tied to the exact wording your class is reading.
