What a URL code is and how to build your own quiz

Students who type a gimkit url code into a browser are usually trying to join a live game session. That code is set by the game platform, so it only works inside that platform.

Upload notes, slides or a PDF from your course and get questions drawn only from that content.
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation.
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus.
Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for teachers who use those systems.

Example URL structure practice questions

What does the https:// part of a URL indicate?It is the protocol, which tells the browser how to connect to the server. The s means the connection is encrypted with TLS.

In https://example.com/quiz?id=42, what is the query string??id=42. It follows the question mark and passes parameters to the server, here id with the value 42.

What character marks the start of the path after the domain?The forward slash (/). It begins the path that points to a specific resource on that server.

What part of a URL comes after the # symbol?The fragment. It tells the browser which section of a page to show, and it is not sent to the server.

In play.example.com, what is the label play?A subdomain. It is placed before the main domain and often points to a separate section of the same site.

Frequently asked questions

What parts make up a URL?

A typical URL has a protocol such as https, a domain, an optional path, an optional query string after a question mark, and an optional fragment after a hash. Quizzing yourself on each part helps you read links more quickly.

How should I study URL structure before a quiz?

Write out one example URL and label each part, then cover the labels and try again. Repeat with a few different links so the pattern sticks.

Can DeckOwl create a Gimkit join code for my class?

No. DeckOwl does not host live games or create join codes. It generates quizzes from your own study material.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included. Plus and Pro unlock exports, and students get 40% off with a school email.
