Why build a UFO quiz from your own notes

Teachers covering the UFO unit often want a Gimkit UFO quiz that matches their readings, not a generic set of questions from the internet. Generating one from your own material keeps the questions tied to the sources your class uses.

  • Questions come from your own UFO readings, slides, or notes.
  • Multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer formats are available.
  • Every question includes an explanation for the correct answer.
  • Export to PDF, DOCX, Moodle XML, or QTI 2.1 on the paid plans.
Example UFO history quiz questions
Which 1947 sighting by Kenneth Arnold led newspapers to start using the term flying saucer?Kenneth Arnold reported disc-shaped objects near Mount Rainier in June 1947, and the phrase spread quickly through the press.
What U.S. Air Force program investigated UFO reports from 1952 to 1969?Project Blue Book was the program, and it concluded that the reports showed no threat to national security or evidence of extraterrestrial technology.
True or false: The U.S. Air Force later linked the 1947 Roswell debris to a classified balloon project.True, because later Air Force reports in the 1990s tied the debris to Project Mogul, a balloon array built to detect Soviet nuclear tests.
What term do U.S. government reports now use in place of UFO?UAP, meaning unidentified aerial phenomena, is the term used in the 2022 NASA study and in the Pentagon's reporting office.
In J. Allen Hynek's classification, what defines a close encounter of the third kind?Visible occupants or entities seen near the object, because Hynek used that category for sightings that included beings.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images so the questions match your course.

Three question types

Get multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions. Each one includes an explanation so students learn why an answer is right.

Study in the browser

Free accounts can study quizzes in the browser with 3 generations per month. Paid plans add unlimited generations and exports.

How it works

Upload your UFO material

Add a reading, lecture slides, or a page of notes on sightings, Project Blue Book, or UAP reports.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false, or short-answer questions, depending on whether you want quick recall or deeper review.

Study or export

Take the quiz in your browser. Plus and Pro users can export to PDF, DOCX, or Moodle XML for class use.

Start with the material you already have. A chapter on Project Blue Book, a slide deck on the 1947 Roswell incident, or notes on how the government now uses the term UAP can each become a quiz in a few minutes. Review the generated questions before students see them, since you know which details matter most.

The explanations are the part students benefit from most. When a question about a 1947 sighting is wrong, the explanation shows the source of the mistake, so the next attempt is more useful than a bare score.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main UFO encounter categories?

J. Allen Hynek classified sightings as nocturnal lights, daylight discs, and close encounters. He then split close encounters into first, second, and third kinds, based on whether witnesses saw physical traces, the object itself, or occupants. Your course readings will usually define these terms.

How should I study UFO history for a test?

Make a timeline of key events, such as the 1947 sightings and the Project Blue Book years, and link each event to the claim it tested. Then practice questions that ask why each explanation was accepted or rejected.

Can I export these UFO questions to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 exports are available on the Pro plan. PDF and DOCX exports are included with Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No, you can start on the free plan with no credit card. It includes 3 generations per month and browser-based study, and students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
