How to build video quiz questions from a lecture
Teachers and students often want video quiz questions built from a lecture they just watched, but the questions are only as good as the text behind them. A clean transcript or a set of typed notes gives the AI the detail it needs to write questions about specific names, dates and causes instead of vague summaries.
- Use the captions from the video, cleaned of filler words, for the most accurate questions.
- Choose multiple choice for recall and open questions for understanding.
- Check each explanation against the video before assigning the quiz.
- Generate in smaller sections if the transcript is long, so each quiz stays focused.
Works from a transcript
Copy the captions or transcript of any video into a text file, then paste it in or upload it as a document.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so the quiz teaches as well as tests.
Exports for your class
Paid plans export to PDF or DOCX, and Pro also exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your learning system.
How it works
Get the transcript
Open the video's captions or transcript and copy the text, or take a photo of printed notes.
Upload or paste
Add the text to DeckOwl as plain text, a DOCX, a PDF or a slide deck.
Answer and review
Work through the generated questions in the browser, then read the explanations for any you missed.
Paste the transcript in full, then pick a question type that matches your goal. Multiple choice works well for recall, true/false for quick checks, and open questions for explaining ideas in your own words. Review the set before you use it, since you know the lesson best.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a quiz on ancient Egypt include?
Ten to fifteen questions is a practical length for one lesson on ancient Egypt, covering the Nile, pharaohs, writing and religion. Shorter quizzes work well for review, and longer ones suit a full unit.
How can I tell if a video quiz question tests understanding instead of memory?
Look for questions that ask why something happened or how two ideas connect, such as why the Nile floods mattered for farming. Open questions and explanations help you check understanding more than a single fact does.
Can I export video quiz questions to Moodle or a PDF?
PDF and DOCX export are available on the Plus plan, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.
