Turn your own notes into a Moodle-ready quiz
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations. Export to Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 when you need to import them into your course.
Why build your own quiz instead of searching GitHub
Many instructors who look for a Moodle quiz on GitHub end up with sample question files that do not match their own course content. A custom quiz built from your lecture notes keeps the questions aligned with what you actually taught.
- Generate questions from your own PDFs, slides or notes instead of reusing someone else's file.
- Review each question and explanation before it reaches students.
- Export Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 on Pro for course question banks.
- Start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and study in the browser.
Questions from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. DeckOwl writes questions based on the content you provide.
Three question types
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Each question comes with an explanation so students learn why an answer is right.
Moodle XML and QTI export
On Pro, export to Moodle XML for the question bank import or to QTI 2.1 for other learning systems that accept that standard.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a Word file or typed notes. No credit card is needed to start.
Pick question types and review
Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then check each question and its explanation before you use it.
Export to Moodle
Download Moodle XML on the Pro plan and import the file through your course question bank.
DeckOwl reads your uploaded material and drafts questions with answer choices and explanations. You review each item, edit anything that needs changing, and then decide which format to export.
Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, while Pro adds Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 for importing into a Moodle course.

Frequently asked questions
What does Moodle XML import do?
Moodle XML is a file format that lets you bring a batch of questions into a Moodle question bank at once instead of typing each one. On DeckOwl Pro you can export your generated quiz in this format.
What is the difference between QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML?
QTI 2.1 is an open standard for exchanging quiz content between many learning systems, while Moodle XML is specific to Moodle's import tool. Pro supports both exports.
Can I export my quiz to PDF or Word?
Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
How many questions should a practice quiz have for a Moodle course?
A short practice quiz of 10 to 15 questions works well for a single topic, while a larger unit may need 20 to 30. Match the count to how much time students will spend on each attempt.
