AI-moderated discussion platform that scores question quality and pushes students toward open inquiry.
What it is good at
The Curiosity Score pushes students past the perfunctory two-replies-and-done discussion board pattern. Automated feedback arrives instantly, sustaining momentum in a way weekly instructor replies cannot. Built for higher education specifically, unlike most tools here.
Use it for
Running a semester-long inquiry thread where students post observation-driven questions. Replacing a compliance-driven discussion board with question-generation practice that feeds essay topics.
Where it falls short
Students pay $39 per course unless the institution intervenes, which is a real equity problem at a community college — students interviewed described it as forced and disclosed only after enrollment. The Curiosity Score rewards a particular performance of curiosity and students quickly learn to write to the algorithm. Assigned passively, it reproduces exactly the dead discussion board it claims to fix.
