Turn your own class notes into Gimkit-style questions
Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file or a photo of your notes. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations that match what you actually taught.
Gimkit questions made from your own material
Many teachers searching for Gimkit questions want something ready to use, but the questions that stick are the ones built from the unit you are teaching this week. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a worksheet and writes questions that match that exact content.
- Questions drawn only from the notes or slides you upload
- Explanations included with every multiple-choice, true/false and open question
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro
From your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages and get questions tied to the content in front of you.
Three question types
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer, each with an explanation students can read after answering.
Export when you need it
Send questions to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file or a photo of your notes.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer and set how many questions you want.
Review and export
Check each question and explanation, then study in the browser or export to your plan's formats.
Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a short lesson instead of a dead end. You can choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions and adjust the count for a warm-up or a full review.
DeckOwl is not connected to any game platform. Export options depend on your plan, so you can copy questions into whatever game or review routine you already use.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should I write for one food web lesson?
Start with 10 to 15 questions covering the main terms and one or two applied examples. Add more for a unit test, and keep a few open questions that ask students to predict what happens when a species disappears.
What makes an ecosystem question useful for review?
A useful question asks students to apply an idea, such as predicting how hawk numbers change if snakes become scarce, rather than only recalling a definition. The explanation matters as much as the answer because it shows the reasoning behind the correct choice.
Can I export these questions to Gimkit?
DeckOwl does not connect directly to Gimkit. You can export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan and copy questions into a game, or use QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro for learning systems that accept those formats.
Is there a free way to try it?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
