Frequently asked questions

How many questions should I put in each quiz show round?

Most classes do well with a short round of about 5 to 10 questions, which keeps energy high and leaves time for discussion. Shorter rounds also make it easier to review explanations without losing the group.

How do I write good wrong answers for multiple-choice quiz questions?

Make each distractor plausible and close in length to the correct answer. Avoid giveaway phrases like all of the above, so students have to know the material to pick the right option.

Does DeckOwl run live games for students?

No, DeckOwl generates the questions and explanations but does not host live multiplayer games. Use your class's platform to run the session and export the questions if you need them in another tool.

Which plan includes QTI and Moodle XML export?
