Making a Moodle quiz from your own material
Instructors who need a Moodle quiz often start with a lecture deck or a stack of notes rather than a blank question bank. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text and photos of pages, then drafts multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations.
- Question types: multiple choice, true/false and short answer
- Explanations written for each answer option
- Generation from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or page photos
- Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export on the Pro plan
Questions from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX files, plain text or photos of pages and get questions drawn from what you actually teach.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question includes an explanation students can read after an attempt.
Export for Moodle on Pro
The Pro plan adds Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export so questions can be imported into your course question bank.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lecture deck, chapter PDF or set of notes. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and set how many questions you want from the material.
Review and export
Edit wording, remove weak distractors, then study in the browser or export when your plan allows it.
Review each question before it goes into the course. Edit the wording, replace distractors that are too easy to rule out, and keep the explanations for students who review after an attempt. The free plan covers browser study, and exports are included on paid plans.

Frequently asked questions
What question types does a Moodle quiz support?
Moodle quizzes include multiple choice, true/false, short answer, numerical, matching and other types. The exact list depends on your Moodle version and installed plugins, so check your question bank settings.
How many questions should a Moodle quiz have for one lecture?
There is no fixed rule, but aim for at least one question per learning objective in the lecture. Use distractors that reflect common student mistakes so the quiz tests understanding rather than recall alone.
Can I export generated questions to Moodle?
Moodle XML export is included on the Pro plan, along with QTI 2.1. PDF and DOCX exports are on Plus, while the free plan keeps studying in the browser.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 generations a week and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
