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
Example ecosystem and food web questions for class review
In a food web, which direction do the arrows point?From the organism being eaten toward the organism that eats it, because arrows show the direction energy flows.
True or false: producers get most of their energy directly from sunlight in terrestrial ecosystems.True. Plants capture sunlight through photosynthesis, which makes them the base of most food chains.
Why does only about 10% of energy move from one trophic level to the next?Much of the energy is lost as heat through metabolism and waste, and some organisms are never eaten.
What is the difference between a population and a community?A population is one species living in an area, while a community is all the different populations living together there.
What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem?They break down dead matter and waste, returning nutrients to the soil so producers can use them again.

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.
