Creating an Account

Note for educators: This article goes through the process of manually creating an account on Kialo Edu. If you are using a Learning Management System (LMS), you can integrate Kialo Edu via LTI to allow your LMS to automatically manage accounts. See the Integrating Kialo in Learning Management Systems article for up-to-date instructions.

Note for students: If your teacher has given you specific instructions on how to create an account, follow those instead of this article.

Creating an Account using Google Classroom, Microsoft, or Clever SSO
