How a printed Moodle quiz gets made

Most instructors who need a printed Moodle quiz already have the content: lecture slides, a textbook chapter or a set of course notes. The slow part is turning that material into clear questions with correct answers and explanations.

Questions are based on your uploaded slides, notes or PDFs
Each question includes an explanation for review
Export a PDF for paper quizzes on Plus or Pro
Export Moodle XML on Pro for import into your course

Example intro biology quiz questions (sample topic)

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out oxidative phosphorylation, which produces most of the ATP used in aerobic respiration.

True or false: plant cells lack mitochondria.False. Plant cells contain mitochondria for respiration, alongside chloroplasts that carry out photosynthesis.

What is the main function of the cell membrane?Controlling what enters and leaves the cell, because it is a selectively permeable barrier.

During which phase of mitosis do sister chromatids separate?Anaphase. Spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids toward opposite poles of the cell.

Which molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation?tRNA. Its anticodon pairs with the matching mRNA codon, so the correct amino acid is added.

Multiple choice, true/false and open questions

Choose the question types that fit your class. Each one includes an explanation so students learn from wrong answers as well as right ones.

Built from your own material

Questions come from the files you upload, so the quiz matches your lecture and reading instead of a generic question bank.

Export to PDF, DOCX or Moodle XML

Paid plans export a print-ready PDF or Word file, plus Moodle XML for importing into your course.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photos of pages. Text in photos is read with text recognition.

Pick question types and review

Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Check the generated questions and remove or edit any that do not fit.

Print or export

Export a PDF for paper, or Moodle XML if you want the quiz inside your Moodle course.

DeckOwl reads your file and drafts multiple-choice, true/false or open questions based on what the material actually says. You can edit the wording, drop weak questions and add your own before exporting.

Paid plans export the finished quiz as a PDF or DOCX for paper. Pro adds Moodle XML export, so the same questions can be imported into your course without retyping.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a unit quiz have?

A unit quiz works best when it covers each key term or concept at least once. Start with the topics your instructor emphasized, then add questions on the ideas students most often confuse.

What is the best way to study quiz questions before a test?

Answer the questions on paper first, then read the explanation for every item you got wrong. Retry those items after a day or two so the correct answers stick.

Can I export the questions to Moodle?

Yes, on the Pro plan, which includes Moodle XML export along with QTI 2.1. PDF and DOCX export are available on the Plus plan.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports. No credit card is needed to start.
