Why build the quiz from your own notes

A Gimkit zombie apocalypse round works best when the questions come from material your class actually covered, not a generic set someone else wrote. DeckOwl reads your own file and writes questions that match its wording, terms and examples.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from one upload
  • Explanations for every answer, so wrong picks become lessons
  • Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with no credit card needed to start
Example epidemiology flashcards for a zombie apocalypse unit
What does the basic reproduction number (R0) measure?The average number of new infections caused by one infected person in a population where everyone is susceptible. If R0 is above 1, the outbreak can grow.
What is herd immunity?The point where enough people are immune that an infection cannot sustain spread, which indirectly protects people who are not immune.
How does quarantine differ from isolation?Quarantine separates people who were exposed but may not be sick. Isolation separates people who are confirmed to be infected.
What is the incubation period of an infection?The time between exposure to a pathogen and the first appearance of symptoms.
Why can case fatality rate differ from infection fatality rate?Case fatality rate counts only diagnosed cases, while infection fatality rate counts all infections, including mild or unreported ones.

Questions from your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Text in photos is read with text recognition.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer

Each question includes an explanation, so students learn why an answer is right, not just which one to pick.

Export when you need it

Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the reading, slides or notes your zombie apocalypse unit covers.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them together.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export files on Plus or Pro.

Zombie outbreak scenarios are a useful way into real epidemiology. Terms like basic reproduction number, incubation period and herd immunity appear in both the fiction and the textbook, so students can see how the concepts apply.

Because each answer has an explanation, a missed question becomes a short lesson. Teachers can review the generated set before class and remove anything that does not match the unit.

Frequently asked questions

What should a zombie apocalypse unit cover before a quiz?

Start with the core outbreak concepts, such as transmission, incubation period, herd immunity and quarantine. Those ideas are testable and show up in most real epidemiology courses.

What is the difference between quarantine and isolation?

Quarantine separates people who were exposed but may not be sick yet. Isolation separates people who are confirmed to be infected.

Can I use the generated questions in Gimkit?

DeckOwl creates the questions and explanations, which you can copy into whatever game or class tool you already use. Exports to PDF and DOCX require Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML require Pro.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
