Turning Wikipedia reading into quiz practice

A Wikipedia article can cover a topic in twenty minutes of reading, but the facts tend to fade once the tab is closed. Turning the article into Gimkit-style quizzes forces you to recall the claims instead of rereading them, which is the difference between recognizing a fact and remembering it.

Turn a saved article or pasted section into questions in one step.
Check each answer's explanation against the cited source.
Use spaced repetition on the free plan to keep facts from fading.
Export to PDF or DOCX with Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML with Pro.

Example Wikipedia research-skills flashcards

What is a primary source?An original record from the time of the event, such as a letter, speech or dataset, as opposed to a summary written later.

Why check the references at the bottom of a Wikipedia article?Wikipedia summarizes other work, so each claim is only as reliable as its cited source. Tracing it to the original is how you verify it.

What does a [citation needed] tag mean?An editor flagged the claim as lacking a source, so treat it as unverified until you find support elsewhere.

Why is Wikipedia usually a weak citation in a research paper?Articles change over time and summarize other work, so cite the original sources the article draws on instead.

What is a Wikipedia talk page used for?Editors discuss sources, disputed wording and proposed edits there, which can show where a topic is contested.

Generate the full set

Works from the article text

Save a Wikipedia page as a PDF or paste its text into DeckOwl. Headings, lists and paragraphs are read so questions follow the article's structure.

Explanations on every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so a wrong guess becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.

Export for class or LMS

PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for teachers who run quizzes in a learning management system.

How it works

Add the article

Upload a PDF of the page, or paste the text of the sections you need. Photos of printed pages also work.

Pick a question type

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set built from that article.

Practice or export

Study in the browser with spaced repetition on the free plan, or export to PDF, DOCX or Moodle XML on a paid plan.

Wikipedia is a good starting point, not a final source. Each question DeckOwl writes points back to a specific passage, so you can check the wording against the article and follow its citations before you rely on an answer in a paper or exam.

Good questions also help you spot gaps. If a section produces only one question, the article may be thin on that topic, and you know to look for a second source before you study it.
