Discussion / Socratic Questions
Open-ended and Socratic questions that get a class thinking instead of reciting.
What Discussion / Socratic Questions does
Good discussion rarely happens on the fly — it needs a few well-aimed questions ready in your pocket. Give this tool a topic and it returns open-ended, Socratic prompts that push students past the textbook answer into reasoning, argument and “what if”. Use them to open a chapter, break up a lecture, or run a full talking-circle.
Every input, explained

Pick the education board (CBSE, CIE, state boards…). Every dropdown after this cascades from it, and the generated output follows that board’s syllabus wording. Required.
The class the material is for — sets age-appropriate depth and vocabulary. Required.
Subject list is scoped to the board and class you picked above. Required.
Optionally narrow the output to one chapter or topic from the canonical syllabus. Leave empty to let the AI stay at subject level. Optional.

How to use it
Open Edukali AI Toolkit → All Tools, find Discussion / Socratic Questions under Student Support and click the card.
Fill in Board, Grade / Class, Subject, Topic (the remaining fields are optional).
Choose an Output depth and, if you like, a specific AI model, then click Generate.
Not sure what to type? Click **Show example** in the form header — it fills every field with a real worked example (CBSE · Class 10 · Social Science) and shows a pre-generated result without spending any AI credits. Undo restores your draft.
The runner also gives you a ✨ prompt assistant and voice input on text fields, file upload to pull in your own notes, and — where your board publishes one — an official-format proof panel.
Your document & what to do with it
The result renders as a clean A4 document you can read on screen. From the output header you can Copy it, **Export** it as a branded PDF, Word, HTML or Markdown file, or send it into an LMS course as a page activity with **Add to Course**. One click on **Save to My Resources** keeps the result in your library for later.
Narrow to a Chapter and the questions stay inside what the class has actually studied, so the discussion builds on the syllabus rather than wandering off it.
