Where DeckOwl fits in your Moodle quiz workflow

Teachers who run Moodle quiz tracking usually want a question bank that matches the unit being taught. DeckOwl drafts multiple-choice, true/false, and open questions from your own PDFs, slides, or notes, each with an explanation. Results still come from Moodle itself, because DeckOwl does not connect to your course.

Generate questions from your own course material instead of writing each one by hand.
Keep explanations with each question so students can review wrong answers.
Export Moodle XML on the Pro plan to import questions into a Moodle question bank.
Read attempts and scores in Moodle's quiz reports, since grades live in your course.

Example Moodle quiz tracking concepts to review

Where in Moodle do you find per-question statistics for a quiz?Under the quiz's Results menu, open Statistics. It shows each question's facility and discrimination values, which reveal how students performed on each item.

What does a facility index measure in Moodle quiz statistics?The average score students earned on a question, as a proportion of the maximum. It shows how easy the question was for the group.

What does a discrimination index tell you about a quiz question?How well the question separates high scorers from low scorers overall. Values near zero or negative suggest the item or its marked answer needs review.

Which quiz setting controls what students see after an attempt?The review options, which decide what students can see and when. Showing the right answer after the attempt closes lets students learn from errors.

How does a Moodle quiz grade reach the course gradebook?Through the quiz's grade settings and grade category, using a grading method such as highest, average, first, or last attempt. That method decides which attempt counts toward the course grade.

Review the generated questions

Check the multiple-choice, true/false, and open questions along with their explanations.

Export and import into Moodle

On Pro, download Moodle XML, import it into your question bank, then review attempts in Moodle's quiz reports.
