How a quiz maker for WordPress fits your course

If your lessons live on a WordPress site, you likely need a quiz maker for WordPress that starts from the material you already wrote. DeckOwl reads your notes or slides and turns them into questions with explanations, so you spend less time writing items from scratch.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from PDFs, slides and notes
Explanations written for each answer
Spaced repetition for students who study in the browser
Exports: PDF and DOCX on Plus, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Example WordPress quiz questions

Which file stores the database name, username, password and host for a WordPress install?wp-config.php. It defines DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD and DB_HOST, so WordPress knows how to connect to its database.

True or false: WordPress stores posts and pages in the wp_posts table.True. Posts, pages and attachments are stored in wp_posts, while their extra data sits in wp_postmeta.

Which folder holds the themes installed on a WordPress site?wp-content/themes. Each theme gets its own subfolder, and the active one controls how the site looks.

What is the WordPress Loop?The Loop is the standard template code that checks for posts with have_posts() and displays each one with the_post(). Theme templates use it to show archives and home pages.

What is a child theme used for?A child theme lets you change a parent theme's look or functions while keeping your edits in a separate folder, so parent updates do not overwrite them.

Generate the full set

Questions from your own files

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain-text notes or photos of pages and get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so students learn why an answer is right instead of only checking a score.

Export for your site or LMS

Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms that import them.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of your WordPress lesson notes.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions and how many you want.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export the quiz as PDF or DOCX to post on your WordPress site.

DeckOwl does not install inside WordPress and does not embed quizzes into your pages. The practical route is to generate the quiz here, export it as a DOCX or PDF, and place the content on your site. Instructors using Moodle or another LMS can export QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on the Pro plan.

Review every generated question before you publish it, especially questions about version-specific settings or plugin behavior that may have changed since your source material was written.

Frequently asked questions

Does DeckOwl install as a WordPress plugin?

No. DeckOwl is a web app that generates quizzes from your files, and it does not add a quiz block or shortcode to WordPress. You export the quiz and add the content to your site yourself.

What WordPress topics make good quiz questions?

Core concepts work well, such as the wp-config.php file, the difference between posts and pages, how themes and child themes are organized, and how the Loop displays content. Questions about these topics test understanding rather than memory of menu locations.

How many questions should a WordPress quiz include?

Ten to fifteen questions cover one lesson well and keep a student's attention. For a longer course, split the material into several shorter quizzes by topic.

Can I export a WordPress quiz from DeckOwl?

The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
