Writing Moodle quiz questions from your own material

Most Moodle matching quiz items start as a list of terms and definitions sitting in a lecture deck or a set of notes. Typing each pair into Moodle by hand is slow, and the quiz is only as useful as the pairs in it. DeckOwl does not build matching sets, but it can write multiple-choice and true/false questions from the same slides, with explanations.

Example matching quiz questions for Moodle

Why should matching question distractors be plausible?Plausible distractors make students recall the concept, since obviously wrong options can be eliminated without knowing the answer.

Which term should each definition in a matching set be unique to?Each definition should match exactly one term, because overlapping definitions make the correct pairing ambiguous.

Why keep matching pairs to one topic per quiz?Mixing topics makes the set harder to answer for the right reasons and makes feedback less useful for review.

What should a matching question's instructions state?They should say whether items can be used more than once and whether every item has a match, so students know the rules.

Why review generated questions before a Moodle import?Generated items can drift from your course content, so checking them against your notes keeps the quiz accurate.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page and get questions drawn from that content.

Explanations on every question

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question includes a short explanation so students learn why the answer is right.

Moodle XML export on Pro

The Pro plan exports Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 so you can import questions into your course bank.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add slides, a PDF, a DOCX file or plain text. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.

Review the questions

Check each question and explanation against your course material and edit anything that is unclear.

Export or study

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Moodle XML on Pro.

Good questions come from the source. Keep each question tied to one idea in your notes, check that wrong answers are plausible, and remove anything the lecture did not cover. Once the set looks right, export it to Moodle XML on the Pro plan and import it into your course question bank.
