Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a class quiz include?

Ten to twenty questions usually cover one lesson well enough for a quick check. Longer quizzes suit unit reviews, but students tend to lose focus after about thirty items.

What makes a good multiple-choice question?

Write one clearly correct answer and plausible distractors based on common mistakes. Avoid options like all of the above, since they can give away the answer.

Does DeckOwl run live quizzes with a join code?

No. DeckOwl generates quiz questions from your material so you can study them in the browser or export them as files. It does not host live join-code sessions.

How much does exporting a quiz cost?

PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99/month.
