Why teachers and students skip the download

Anyone who wants an iSpring quiz maker download usually has a stack of lecture slides or a chapter to review and needs questions to test themselves with. A downloaded program can be heavy to install, and it does not write questions from your specific material unless you build every item by hand.

Quizzes are generated from the notes or slides you upload, not from a fixed bank.
Every question comes with an explanation for the correct answer.
Study in the browser on the free plan without installing anything.
Export to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on the Pro plan for course platforms.

Example intro biology quiz questions (study topic used)

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out oxidative phosphorylation, which generates most of the cell's ATP.

What is the net ATP yield from glycolysis per glucose molecule?2 ATP. Glycolysis spends 2 ATP in its early steps and produces 4, so the net gain is 2.

Which bases pair in a DNA double helix?Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. A-T pairs form two hydrogen bonds and G-C pairs form three.

What does the law of independent assortment state?Alleles of genes on different chromosomes segregate independently during meiosis. This is why each gamete receives a random mix of parental alleles.

What is the main role of the Golgi apparatus?Modifying, sorting and packaging proteins and lipids for transport. It receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and ships them to their destinations.

Generate the full set

No install

DeckOwl runs in your browser, so you can start on a school laptop or home computer without installing desktop software.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page, and the quiz is written from that content rather than a generic template.

Explanations on every answer

Each question includes a reason for the correct answer, so missed items become study material instead of just a score.

How it works

Upload your source

Add lecture slides, a chapter PDF or typed notes. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz in one pass.

Study or export

Take the quiz in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

DeckOwl takes the other route. You upload the material, the AI drafts multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, and each one includes an explanation you can read after answering. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser.

If you need to hand quizzes to a learning management system, the paid plans cover that. Plus adds unlimited generations with PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to download anything to make a quiz here?

No. DeckOwl runs in your browser, and the free plan lets you generate and take quizzes there with 3 generations per month.

How many questions should a practice quiz have for an intro biology unit?

Around 10 to 20 questions per chapter works well for most units. Mixing multiple choice with true/false questions tests both recall and understanding.

How should I study with quiz questions?

Answer each question before reading the explanation, so you test recall first. Then revisit the ones you missed a day or two later.

Can I export quizzes to QTI or Moodle XML?

Yes, on the Pro plan, which includes QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. The Plus plan adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export instead.
