Writing Gimkit questions that teach, not just test

If you have a lecture deck or a chapter of notes and want to know how to make Gimkit questions from it, the slow part is writing clear wording and plausible wrong answers. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and photos of pages, then drafts multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations you can review before a session.

Keep one unit per set so questions stay focused.
Check that each correct answer is supported by your source.
Write distractors that are plausible but clearly wrong.
Read every explanation once before students see it.

Example immune system questions for a Gimkit game

Which white blood cells produce antibodies?B cells, which become plasma cells that secrete antibodies once activated by an antigen.

True or false: innate immunity responds more slowly than adaptive immunity.False. Innate immunity responds within minutes to hours, while adaptive immunity takes days to build a targeted response.

Where do T cells mature?The thymus, where T cells develop their receptors and are screened before entering circulation.

What is the role of memory B and T cells after an infection clears?They persist for years and mount a faster, stronger response if the same pathogen returns.

What do complement proteins do?They help clear pathogens by marking them for phagocytes and, in some cases, directly breaking open bacterial membranes.

Questions from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages and get questions drawn from what you actually taught.

Explanations with every answer

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions each come with an explanation so students learn from misses.

Review before you play

Edit any question or answer choice before it goes into a live session so the wording matches your course.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, pasted notes or a photo of a page.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a set.

Edit and copy into Gimkit

Check each question against your source, fix any wording, then add the questions to your Gimkit game.

Start with one topic at a time. Upload a single unit, check the drafted questions against your source, and cut any that test material your class did not cover. Keep answer choices similar in length so the correct answer is not obvious, and make sure each explanation says why the right answer is right, since that is what helps students after a wrong guess.

Copying questions into a Gimkit game is a manual step. The free plan keeps studying in the browser, while paid plans add exports for other tools.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should I write for one immune system lecture?

A focused set of 15 to 25 questions usually covers a single lecture on the immune system well. Include a mix of recall and application questions so students practice more than memorizing terms.

What is the difference between innate and adaptive immunity for quiz purposes?

Innate immunity is fast and nonspecific, relying on barriers and phagocytes. Adaptive immunity is slower, targets specific antigens and builds memory after an infection.

Can I export the questions I make?

The free plan has no exports and studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Does DeckOwl put questions into Gimkit for me?

DeckOwl creates the questions and explanations from your material. Adding them to a Gimkit game is a manual step you do yourself.
