Civil Dialogue for a Better Future
Thinkifi is a software platform designed to facilitate rich, thoughtful, and civil dialogue.
Built by educators and technologists to help teach people to think, write, and engage more effectively.
The Problem
Due to extreme polarization in our society, people increasingly struggle to engage thoughtfully and civilly with those who hold different viewpoints from their own.
This trend affects:
Classrooms
Campuses
