Why your own material beats a generic question bank

Teachers who need a quizizz question for tomorrow's review often find that ready-made sets don't match what was covered in class. A set built from your own slides, readings or notes asks about the names, dates and terms you actually taught.

Multiple-choice questions with plausible distractors
True/false items for quick checks of key facts
Short-answer prompts that test recall without options
Explanations attached to every question

Questions from your files

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages and get questions drawn from that material.

Explanations on every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question comes with an explanation so students learn why an answer is right.

Export on paid plans

Plus exports to PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your learning management system.

How it works

Upload your material

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

Choose the question types

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

Review and study

Review the set and study it in the browser, or export it if you are on a paid plan.

DeckOwl works the other way around. You upload the material, and the AI writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations, so every item traces back to a source you can check.

That also makes the questions more useful for students. A wrong answer with an explanation teaches more than a score alone, and the same set can be exported to your learning system on a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good question about the American Civil War for review?

Good questions ask about causes, turning points and consequences, such as why a battle mattered, not only who fought in it. Multiple-choice wrong options should be plausible, like a nearby date or a general from the same campaign.

How should I study Civil War questions to remember them?

Answer each question before reading the explanation, then retry the ones you missed a day or two later. Spaced repetition on the Plus plan can schedule those reviews for you.

Can I export these questions to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX exports are included with Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and students get 40% off with a school email.
