Multiple-choice and true/false questions for quick auto-graded checks
Open questions that ask students to explain a concept in their own words
Explanations written for every question, so feedback is ready for students
Free plan to try generations, with exports available on Plus and Pro

Example Moodle quiz questions to practice with

Which Moodle question type lets you embed several answer blanks inside one paragraph?Embedded answers (Cloze), because it places dropdowns or text inputs within a passage and scores each blank separately.

In Moodle, what is the difference between a question bank and a quiz?A question bank stores reusable questions, while a quiz pulls in selected questions, so the same question can appear in many quizzes.

Which Moodle quiz setting controls how many tries a student gets?Attempts allowed, because it sets whether students get one try, a fixed number, or unlimited attempts.

Which Moodle question type should you use when the answer is a number with a tolerance?Numerical, because it accepts an answer within a set margin of error, so small rounding differences are still marked correct.

Why do Moodle essay questions usually need manual grading?Essay questions have free-text answers that Moodle cannot match against a fixed correct response, so a teacher must read and score them.

Generate the full set

Moodle XML export

Export questions as Moodle XML on the Pro plan and import them into your course question bank.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and open question comes with an explanation students can read after they answer.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages, and the questions come from what you already teach.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, text notes or a photo of a page.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate your set.

Export for Moodle

Review the questions, then export Moodle XML on the Pro plan to import into your course.

Moodle quizzes are only as good as their questions, and drafting a full set from a textbook chapter can take an afternoon. DeckOwl reads your material and proposes questions with explanations, so you spend your time checking them rather than writing them from scratch.

Exports depend on your plan. The Free plan runs in the browser without exports, Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 for importing into your learning system.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import generated questions straight into Moodle?

Yes, on the Pro plan DeckOwl exports Moodle XML that you can import into your Moodle question bank. The Free plan has no exports, so Moodle XML requires Pro.

What question types work best for a Moodle quiz?

Multiple choice and true/false questions are quick to auto-grade in Moodle, while open questions check understanding. Mixing them tests both recognition and recall.

How many questions should a Moodle quiz include?

Most instructors aim for 10 to 20 questions for a short quiz so students can finish within the time limit. Longer quizzes work well when split across topics or weeks.

Does the Plus plan include Moodle XML export?

No. Plus includes unlimited generations plus PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while Moodle XML export is part of Pro at $14.99 per month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
