How DeckOwl helps with Moodle quiz setup

Teachers who need Moodle quiz help often spend hours rebuilding the same questions for each course. DeckOwl reads your slides, notes or PDF and drafts multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations, so you edit instead of starting from a blank question bank.

  • Multiple-choice questions with single or multiple correct answers
  • True/false items that include a one-sentence explanation for feedback
  • Open-ended questions with explanations you can review before import
  • Moodle XML export for importing questions into your course, on the Pro plan

Where do you import a Moodle XML file of questions?In the question bank, choose Import and select the Moodle XML format.
What is the difference between Grade to pass and the maximum grade in a Moodle quiz?Grade to pass is the minimum score that counts as passing, while the maximum grade is the total points the quiz is worth.

Multiple question types

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions drafted from your own material.

Explanations included

Each question comes with an explanation you can keep for student feedback.

Moodle XML on Pro

The Pro plan exports Moodle XML so you can import questions into your course.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of your pages.

Review the drafted questions

Edit wording, remove weak items and check the explanations against your course.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the Free plan, or export to Moodle XML on Pro.

Quiz settings matter as much as the questions. Attempts, adaptive mode, shuffled answers and feedback timing all change what students see, so check them before you open a quiz to a class.

Frequently asked questions

How many attempts should a Moodle quiz allow?

Most instructors allow two or three attempts for practice quizzes and one attempt for high-stakes exams. Choose the number that matches whether the quiz is formative or graded.

What is the difference between adaptive mode and deferred feedback in Moodle?

Adaptive mode lets students retry a question right away, often with a penalty. Deferred feedback shows results only after the whole attempt ends, which suits exam-style quizzes.

Can I export my generated questions to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML export is included on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
