Rutgers.eduRutgers Canvas is pleased to announce the integration of Kialo Edu, a discussion platform designed for students and educators. Kialo Edu utilizes a visually structured argument map, allowing students to explore topics by building arguments (pros) and counterarguments (cons) for and against a central thesis. It helps students to visualize and reflect on each step of an argument and by focusing on reason.
As students add pros and cons, their responses appear as a branching map of the discussion, allowing students to see how their ideas connect and how their arguments are logically developed or refuted.
