Why build a quiz from your own lesson
A quiz written from your own lesson tests what your teacher actually covered, which generic pages often miss. That is the main reason to make free online quizzes for your lessons instead of relying on a general set.
- Questions drawn from the lesson text you upload, not a generic topic list
- Explanations for every answer, including the ones you got right
- True/false, multiple-choice and short-answer formats in one quiz
- Free plan for studying in the browser, with exports on paid plans
Works from your own material
Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer
Each question comes with an explanation so you can see why an answer is right, not just that it is wrong.
Free to start in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. Exports are part of paid plans.
How it works
Upload your lesson
Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, notes or a photo of the page.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer for the quiz.
Study and review
Answer the questions, read the explanations, and come back to the ones you missed.
Upload the lesson as a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file or plain notes, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations. You can answer them in the browser, which is included on the free plan with 3 generations per month.
If you need files to share or import into another system, exports to PDF and DOCX are on Plus, while QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are on Pro.
