Denu FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A few direct answers about how Denu is built, how tests are created and solved, and how the different parts of the project fit together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Denu?
Denu is an open project built around learning, assessment, and the people who create and use them. It brings together tools for creating tests, the Denu app for interactive solving, educational articles, shared exam resources, and a community of learners, teachers, and contributors.
How does Denu work?
Denu connects two sides of the same process: creating a test and using it. A test can be created by you, shared by someone else, or obtained from another source. A compatible file can then be opened in the Denu app and solved as an interactive test. The website supports the wider project with resources, articles, the builder, and shared exam pages.
Can I create my own tests?
Yes. The Build tool lets you create structured questions, choices, answers, and optional explanations, then export the finished test as a file. You can keep it for yourself, share it with others, or use it with the Denu app.
Where can a Denu-compatible exam file come from?
It can come from your own work, another person, the Denu website, or another website or source. Denu does not require every exam to start on denuapp.tech; the important part is that the file is compatible with the app.
Can I use the Denu app without the website?
Yes. The app can be used directly with a compatible exam file. The website is one part of the project and does not have to be involved every time you open and solve a test.
Who is Denu for?
Denu is for students, self-directed learners, teachers, and contributors. It can be used to practice, check understanding, create assessments, organize study material, and share useful tests with other people.
Can teachers and contributors share tests?
Yes. Tests and educational resources can be created and shared for different subjects, curricula, and learning needs. Shared exams may be published through the website, while the files themselves can also be distributed directly.
What exam file formats does Denu support?
Denu uses structured exam files, including JSON-based files and the Denu format. These files contain the test data needed for an interactive experience, such as questions, choices, answers, and optional explanations.
