How to get questions ready for a class game

If you need a host game for class, DeckOwl is built for the question side of that job. It reads your own PDF, slides, DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a page, then writes multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations. It does not run live games with player codes, so you host the round yourself using the questions you copy or export.

Example high school biology quiz questions on photosynthesis

Where in the plant cell does the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis take place?In the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. Light energy is captured by chlorophyll embedded there.

What two products of the light-dependent reactions are used in the Calvin cycle?ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle uses them as energy and reducing power to fix carbon dioxide into sugar.

Which gas do plants release as a byproduct of the light-dependent reactions?Oxygen. It comes from splitting water molecules, which supplies the electrons that replace those lost by chlorophyll.

True or false: the Calvin cycle requires light directly.False. It is light-independent, but it depends on ATP and NADPH made during the light reactions.

Which enzyme fixes carbon dioxide in the first step of the Calvin cycle?RuBisCO. It attaches CO2 to ribulose bisphosphate, a five-carbon sugar.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages and get a question set built from them.

Explanations included

Each question comes with a short explanation, so students see why an answer is right.

Export when you need it

Plus exports PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning systems.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, notes or a photo of a page.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.

Review and run your round

Check the questions and explanations, then use them in your class game or review session.

Good review questions test one idea each, and wrong answers should be plausible but clearly incorrect. Start with 10 to 15 questions covering the lesson's key terms, then add a few that ask students to apply the idea. Explanations matter most after a wrong answer, because students learn the reason, not just the letter.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a review quiz have?

Ten to fifteen questions is a good range for a single review round, since it keeps the session short enough to finish. Use more if you are covering a full unit, and split it into rounds by topic.

What makes a good multiple-choice distractor?

A good wrong answer is a common misconception or a near-miss from the same topic, not an obviously silly option. Each question should have one clearly correct answer that a student can justify from the lesson.

Does DeckOwl host live games with player codes?

No. DeckOwl generates the questions and explanations, and you run any live round yourself with the questions you have.

Are exports included in the free plan?

No. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 5 generations a week. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.
