Kialo is the free tool for thoughtful, inclusive discussion. Over 1 million educators and students use this award-winning platform.
Kialo trains critical thinking by prompting students to reason, analyze, and provide evidence for their points. The interactive, visual format ensures greater engagement from all students — educators report up to 5x more participation in Kialo discussions!
Winner of a 2025 Bett Award and selected for the HundrED Global Collection and Common Sense Selection for Learning, Kialo meets ESSA Tier IV evidence standards and is backed by a growing body of research.
The tool is built to work for everyone, on any device. Sign up via email or use with Canvas, Moodle, Microsoft, Google Classroom, and more. Student accounts are optional.
Kialo is fully funded by a nonprofit foundation based in Germany. This means that it is completely free and always will be.
