How Moodle quiz notifications fit with DeckOwl

Moodle quiz notifications are the alerts students and teachers receive about quiz open dates, close dates and activity, and they are configured in Moodle's own preferences rather than in DeckOwl. DeckOwl does not send or manage those alerts. What it does is create the quiz questions that go inside the quiz, so the notifications point to material that is ready to use.

Students see quiz dates on the Moodle timeline once open and close dates are set.
Notification preferences control email and on-site alerts for each event type.
DeckOwl creates questions with explanations; it does not send Moodle alerts.
Moodle XML export is a Pro feature at $14.99 per month.

After the close date, students cannot start or submit new attempts, so it sets the last moment a quiz can be taken. Teachers usually set it together with the open date.
