How the Moodle import works

Teachers who want a Moodle quiz plugin usually have a different goal: getting well-written questions into Moodle without typing each one by hand. DeckOwl covers that part by generating questions from your own material before they reach Moodle.

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages as source material
Generate multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations
Review every question against your source before it goes into a course
Export Moodle XML on the Pro plan and import it through the question bank

Example Moodle question bank items (moodle plugin topics)

What is the Moodle XML format used for?Importing and exporting quiz questions in bulk, since each question's type, answers and feedback are stored in one file.

What is a Moodle question bank?A shared store of questions that can be reused across quizzes and courses, so you write a question once and add it to many quizzes.

What does QTI stand for, and what is it used for?Question and Test Interoperability, a standard format for exchanging assessment items between learning systems.

Why do many instructors write feedback for each answer option?Per-option feedback explains why a wrong choice is wrong, so students learn from the mistake right after answering.

Which Moodle question type fits a true or false statement?The True/False question type, which asks students to judge a single statement as true or false and suits quick checks of one fact.

Questions from your own files

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the material so questions match what you taught.

Three question types

Moodle XML export

On the Pro plan, export your questions as Moodle XML and import them into your Moodle question bank in one file instead of typing each one.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the slides, readings or notes your course is built on. Nothing needs to be retyped.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then review the generated set against your source.

Export and import

Download the questions as Moodle XML on Pro, then import the file through the question bank import screen in Moodle.

Export the set as Moodle XML, then open your course's question bank and use the import option, choosing the Moodle XML format. The questions arrive with their answer options and feedback, and you can reuse them across quizzes.

Moodle still handles quiz settings, attempts and grading. Read each question against your notes before importing, since AI-written items need a quick check for accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

Is DeckOwl a Moodle plugin?

No. DeckOwl is a separate web app that creates questions from your material, and the Pro plan exports them as Moodle XML that you import into Moodle.

What is the Moodle XML format?

Moodle XML is the file format Moodle uses to import and export quiz questions. Each question's type, answer options and feedback are stored together in one file.

How should I check AI-written quiz questions before importing them?

Compare each question with your lecture notes, confirm the marked correct answer, and fix any explanation that does not match the source. Import only after that check.

Can I export to Moodle on the free plan?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. Moodle XML export requires the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.
