Printable Moodle quizzes from your own material

Moodle has no built-in way to export a finished quiz as a PDF, so a printable copy usually means building the questions somewhere else first. DeckOwl generates a PDF quiz for Moodle from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files or photographed notes, with multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions and explanations for each.

Generate questions from your own lecture slides or course notes instead of retyping them.
Review each question and explanation before printing or importing into Moodle.
Print a PDF for paper quizzes on Plus, or export Moodle XML on Pro.
Start on the Free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card.

Example Moodle export questions

Which file format should you choose to import questions into a Moodle question bank?Moodle XML. Choose Import in the question bank, select the Moodle XML format, and upload the file so the questions keep their answers and feedback.

Does Moodle let you export a quiz directly as a PDF?No. Moodle exports questions in XML or text formats, so a printable copy has to be made by printing the quiz or generating the questions as a PDF.

What does a Moodle XML multiple-choice question store besides the question text?The answer options, a fraction for each option that sets its grade weight, and feedback text, so the question imports with its scoring intact.

Why import questions into the question bank instead of straight into a quiz?The question bank holds reusable questions, so one set can be added to several quizzes without being recreated each time.

How does a true/false question differ from a multiple-choice question in Moodle?True/false is a separate question type with two fixed answers, while multiple choice lists several options and can allow more than one correct answer.

Frequently asked questions

Can Moodle export a quiz as a PDF?

Not directly from the quiz itself. Moodle's question export produces XML or text formats, so a printable copy usually comes from printing the quiz preview or from generating the questions into a PDF.

How do I import questions into Moodle from a file?

Open the question bank in your course, choose Import, and select the Moodle XML format before uploading the file. The questions then appear in the bank and can be added to any quiz.

Can I export DeckOwl quizzes to PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Which plan includes Moodle XML export?

Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included with Pro at $14.99/month. Students with a school email get 40% off.
