What the tool does and what it does not

If you are working out how to make Quizizz questions, start with the material you already have. Lecture slides, a textbook chapter or your own notes contain most of the facts a quiz needs, so the work is turning them into clear questions with correct answers.

Generate questions from your own PDFs, slides or notes instead of starting from a blank page.
Every multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question includes an explanation.
Review and edit each question before you copy it anywhere.
Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.

Example Industrial Revolution quiz questions

Which invention, patented by James Watt in 1769, made steam engines far more fuel-efficient?The separate condenser. It kept the cylinder hot and avoided wasting steam on every stroke, which Newcomen's design did not.

Which spinning machine, developed by Richard Arkwright, used water power to spin cotton in mills?The water frame. It produced a strong thread that suited factory spinning powered by flowing water.

True or false: the Industrial Revolution began in Britain around the 1760s.True. Textile mechanization and steam power first took hold in Britain during this period.

Which railway opened in 1830 as an early passenger line between two major cities using steam locomotives?The Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It showed that steam trains could carry passengers and freight on a regular timetable.

Why did many people move from farms to towns during the Industrial Revolution?To find factory and mine work. Changes in farming reduced rural jobs, while towns offered wages.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, generated from the material you upload.

Explanations included

Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so you can check it before students see it.

Export on paid plans

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 a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want.

Review and copy

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz on the Industrial Revolution have?

Most short classroom quizzes work well with 5 to 10 questions covering one or two themes, such as textile mills or steam power. Mixing question types, like multiple-choice with a few true/false items, keeps students engaged.

What makes a good quiz question about the Industrial Revolution?

A strong question tests one specific fact, such as who patented a key invention or which city a railway connected. Avoid answers that are obviously wrong, and check that each distractor is plausible for someone who studied the topic.

Is DeckOwl free to use?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exports require a paid plan, and there is no credit card needed to start.

Which formats can I export questions to?

Plus exports PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Pro at $14.99 per month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
