What Quizizz is, and what DeckOwl does differently

Most people who type what is quizizz want to know whether it is a live game for a class or something they can use alone. Quizizz is best known as a quiz game that teachers run with students, so it is built around a shared session rather than your own reading. DeckOwl covers the other half of that job: getting a quiz out of material you already have.
