How a Moodle H5P quiz fits into your course

Teachers building a Moodle H5P quiz usually already have the material: lecture slides, a reading packet or a set of notes. DeckOwl turns that material into quiz questions with explanations, so you start from your own content instead of writing every item from scratch.

Example Moodle H5P quiz questions

What is H5P in Moodle?H5P is an open-source framework for interactive content, and Moodle's H5P activity lets teachers create or upload it inside a course. It is separate from Moodle's question bank.

What is an .h5p file?It is a zip package holding the content, its settings and the libraries it needs. Moodle can upload and display it as an H5P activity.

What does the Question Set content type do in H5P?It presents several questions in sequence and reports an overall score. This suits a mixed quiz that combines question types in one activity.

Which file format imports questions into the Moodle question bank?Moodle XML is the import format for the question bank. It is not an H5P package, so it cannot be used to upload an H5P activity.

Why check a generated quiz against the source before publishing?AI-generated questions can be wrong or use wording that differs from your course. Comparing each item with the original slides or notes catches errors before students see them.

Generate the full set

Questions from your own material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Every question comes from the content you provide.

Three question types with explanations

Multiple choice, true/false and open questions each include an explanation, so students learn why an answer is right.

Moodle-ready export

On the Pro plan, export Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 and import the questions into your Moodle question bank.

How it works

Upload your slides or notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX file, text or photos of pages. Scanned pages are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions and generate a set from your material.

Review, then export

Check each question against the source, edit what needs fixing, then export Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 on Pro.

DeckOwl does not create .h5p packages. For a question bank in Moodle, export Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 from the Pro plan and import the file. Questions can then be placed in quizzes, and H5P activities can be built separately inside Moodle.

Review every generated question before students see it. AI output can miss nuance or drift from your course's wording, so compare each item with the source and edit anything unclear.

Frequently asked questions

What is an .h5p file?

An .h5p file is a packaged H5P activity, a zip archive that holds the content and its settings. Moodle's H5P activity can upload and display these files directly.

How should I check quiz questions before publishing them to students?

Compare each question and its correct answer with your original source material. Preview the quiz as a student in Moodle and fix any wording that is ambiguous or incorrect.

Can I export my quiz to Moodle?

Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included in the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. The Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export instead.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports. No credit card is needed to start.
