Turn your course notes into quiz questions for a Moodle forum
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations you can post or import.
How a Moodle forum quiz works
Teachers who run a Moodle forum quiz often spend more time writing prompts than starting the discussion. Generating the questions from the readings you already assigned keeps the forum tied to the course material.
- Questions generated from your uploaded slides, notes or readings
- Multiple choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
- Pro plan exports to Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 for import into Moodle
- Free plan lets you try generations with 3 per month at no cost to start
Questions from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain-text notes or photos of pages. Every question comes from the content you provided.
Three question types
Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions. Each one includes an explanation so students learn from the answer as well as the correct choice.
Export on the Pro plan
Pro exports to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, so questions can move into a Moodle quiz. Free and Plus plans study in the browser or export to PDF, DOCX and Anki.
How it works
Upload your material
Add the lecture slides, reading or notes that the forum discussion should cover.
Pick the question type
Select multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set from your content.
Post or export
Copy questions into a forum thread for discussion, or export to Moodle XML on the Pro plan.
Moodle forums do not grade answers like a quiz does, so the questions work best as discussion starters or as a check before a graded quiz. Open questions suit forum threads, while multiple-choice and true/false questions fit a Moodle quiz activity.
If you need a printable or ready-made set, DeckOwl builds one from your own notes rather than offering a generic bank. That way the questions match what your class actually covered.

Frequently asked questions
What forum type should I use for quiz-style questions?
The Q and A forum type is a good fit because students must post their own answer before they can see replies from classmates. Standard forums work for open discussion once the question has been posed.
How many questions should a forum prompt set include?
Most forum activities work well with three to five questions covering one reading or lecture. Smaller sets keep threads focused and give students time to respond thoughtfully.
Can I export the questions into Moodle?
Yes, on the Pro plan you can export to Moodle XML and QTI 2.1. Exports are a paid feature and are not included in the free plan.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.
