How the quiz maker turns your notes into questions

Writing a quiz from a chapter often takes longer than the quiz itself. DeckOwl reads your material and drafts questions with explanations, which works as a Kahoot-style quiz maker for study, though it does not host a live game.

Questions come from your own material, so they match your course rather than a generic question bank.
Each question includes an explanation to review after answering.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no exports.
Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.

Example cell division quiz questions (mitosis and meiosis)

How many daughter cells does one mitosis division produce from a single parent cell?Two. Mitosis divides the nucleus once, so each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent.

How does the chromosome number of a human gamete compare with a somatic cell?A gamete has half the number, 23 instead of 46. Meiosis halves the chromosome number so that fertilization restores the full set.

True or false: crossing over between homologous chromosomes happens during prophase I of meiosis.True. Homologous chromosomes exchange segments during prophase I, which shuffles alleles into new combinations.

In which phase of mitosis do sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles?Anaphase. Spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids apart toward opposite ends of the cell.

Why does meiosis II not need a second round of DNA replication before it starts?Meiosis II begins with haploid cells whose chromosomes were already replicated before meiosis I. It then separates sister chromatids in a way similar to mitosis.

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page, and the questions are drawn from that text.

Explanations for every answer

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions each include an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes something to learn from.

Exports for your course

Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro for import into a learning management system.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a Word file or photos of pages.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions for the quiz.

Review and export

Edit the questions, then study in the browser or export on a paid plan.

Cell division is a good test of this approach because mitosis and meiosis share vocabulary but differ in chromosome number, number of divisions and outcome. Questions built from your own lecture slides or textbook pages keep the quiz tied to what your course actually covers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I tell mitosis and meiosis apart on a quiz?

Mitosis makes two genetically identical diploid cells in one division, while meiosis makes four haploid gametes in two divisions with crossing over in prophase I. Questions about chromosome number and the number of divisions separate the two quickly.

How many quiz questions should I write for a cell division unit?

Cover each phase of mitosis and meiosis along with the key differences between them. Add a few true/false items on common misconceptions, such as thinking meiosis produces identical cells.

Can I export the quiz to Kahoot?

DeckOwl does not host live games or connect to Kahoot. Exports to PDF and DOCX are on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are on Pro.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
