Kialo Edu, the platform for interactive discussions, is now officially a Moodle Certified Integration!

What is Kialo Edu?

Kialo Edu empowers learners to engage thoughtfully with complex topics by creating structured, interactive maps of their discussions. Whether learners weigh the pros and cons of a historical event or analyse a current social issue, Kialo Edu helps them break down arguments, collaborate effectively, and build critical thinking skills. 

It’s also built with educators in mind—offering tools like Anonymous Discussions and Tasks that encourage a more inclusive, student-centred environment. Kialo Edu is free for educators and learners, a testament to its mission of making the world more thoughtful.

How Moodle educators and learners benefit?

With Kialo Edu now a certified integration, Moodle users can directly incorporate its structured, visually engaging discussion maps into their courses. This integration opens new possibilities for learner engagement, giving educators the tools to make discussions structured and thought-provoking. It’s a win for educators who want to support critical thinking and give learners a safe, inclusive space to share and refine their perspectives.

What does becoming a Moodle Certified Integration mean?

As a Moodle Certified Integration, Kialo Edu meets Moodle’s highest standards for security, privacy, and performance, so educators can feel confident in the tool’s quality and reliability.

Moodle evaluates certified integrations against rigorous benchmarks in user experience, coding standards, compatibility, and overall business practices. The process ensures that each tool delivers a seamless, high-quality experience for Moodle users across all devices and Moodle versions. It’s all about extending Moodle’s capabilities with tools that enhance the online learning experience.

CEO Errikos Pitsos explains, “Becoming a Moodle Certified Integration ensures educators can gain all the benefits of Kialo’s discussion tool, safe in the knowledge that we meet the highest technical, security, and privacy standards.”

From an educational perspective, Moodle’s Certified Integrations program ensures that tools like Kialo Edu meet the benchmarks so educators can focus on teaching rather than tech troubleshooting. With Kialo Edu in the mix, Moodle courses become even more dynamic and tailored to fostering thoughtful, collaborative learning.
