Why teachers use a quiz maker app instead of writing every question from scratch

Writing a full quiz from a unit of slides can take an evening, and a quiz maker app for teachers turns that into a review pass. You upload the PDF, DOCX, PPTX or notes you already use, and DeckOwl produces multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations. You decide which questions stay.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question types
Explanations for each question to support feedback
Generate from PDFs, slides, Word files, notes or photos of pages
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro

Example quiz questions for teachers to adapt

What is a distractor in a multiple-choice question?A plausible wrong answer option. Good distractors reflect common student misconceptions, so a wrong choice shows what the student misunderstood.

Which question type best checks whether a student can explain a process step by step?Short answer. Multiple choice only tests recognition, so a student can guess among options, while short answer requires them to produce the explanation.

Which Bloom's taxonomy level does 'Compare two rival theories' target?Analyze. Comparing theories requires breaking ideas into parts and examining how they relate.

Why should you avoid 'all of the above' as an answer option?It lets students guess correctly without knowing the content, since spotting two correct options is enough to pick it.

What is the difference between formative and summative assessment?Formative checks learning during instruction to guide teaching, while summative grades learning at the end of a unit.

Generate the full set

Works from your materials

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX slides, plain text notes or photos of pages. Questions come from what you actually taught.

Three question types

Generate multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions. Each one includes an explanation you can show students after they answer.

Export for your LMS

Pro exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, and Plus exports PDF and DOCX for printed or shared quizzes.

How it works

Upload your lesson material

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, notes or photos of a handout. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a draft quiz from that unit.

Review and export

Edit or remove questions, then study in the browser or export to PDF, DOCX, or your LMS format on a paid plan.

The explanations matter as much as the questions. When a student picks a wrong option, the explanation shows why, which makes a quiz useful for feedback rather than just a score. You can adjust wording so the questions match the vocabulary your class uses.

The free plan lets you try the workflow with 3 generations per month and study in the browser. Plus and Pro add unlimited generations and exports for teachers who need files for their LMS or printed handouts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good multiple-choice questions for a class quiz?

Keep one clearly correct answer and make the wrong options plausible, based on common student mistakes. Avoid options like all of the above, and keep answer lengths similar so the correct one does not stand out.

How many questions should a classroom quiz include?

Many teachers use about 5 to 10 questions for a short check and more for a unit test, depending on class time. Start with fewer questions and expand once you see how long students take to answer.

Can I export quizzes to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included on the Pro plan. PDF and DOCX export are included on Plus, and the free plan is limited to studying in the browser.

Is there a free plan for teachers?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
