Why build quiz questions from your own notes

Google Forms is good at collecting answers and grading multiple-choice questions, but writing the questions is the slow part. A Google Forms quiz maker only helps if the questions match what you taught, so DeckOwl starts from your own PDF, slides or notes instead of a generic question bank.
