How Scolavo works

Finding something to learn

3,680 classes across 124 subjects. The job of the front of the site is to make that number feel like a shelf rather than a wall.

Taking a class

A class is one lesson at /lesson/[slug]. It has two modes and a fixed sequence of steps.

Explore and Labs

Two different things with a family resemblance: Explore is an interactive step inside a lesson; Labs are standalone simulations with their own…

Practice and mastery

/practice is where a skill goes from "I have seen this" to "I can do this".

Spaced review

/review — "Keep it from fading." A short queue of things you have learned and are due to see again.

The Curious Feed

/feed — micro-learning in a scrollable column. One idea per card, mixed with questions and review, finishable in a sitting.

Test Prep

/test-prep — four standardized tests, each modelled on its real published structure rather than on a generic quiz engine.

Plans, access and learners

Access is decided by hasAccess() in lib/access.js, in this order:

The learner view

/dashboard, first tab. The question this view answers is "what should I do now?" — everything on it is either an answer to that or evidence you are…

The parent view

/dashboard, second tab. "Your learners."

The teacher view

/dashboard, third tab. "Teach with Scolavo."

Account and settings

/account — "Manage your profile, plan, and learners." Signed out, it is a sign-in wall: "Your profile, plan, and learners live here."
