Learn Schoilas in 6 minutes
Schoilas helps you learn directly from first sources (papers/books), by asking questions on specific artifacts
(figures, equations, paragraphs) and building a persistent knowledge layer for your group.
Best starting point
Join an “Open” space and follow the baseline.
Fast learning loop
Read → anchor → ask → resolve → cite.
For teams
Labs create shared baselines and reduce repeated confusion.
What you can do on Schoilas
Ask precisely
Questions attached to a specific artifact (figure, equation, paragraph).
Learn together
Labs/Spaces organize groups, baselines, and progress.
Build a library
Over time, resolved Q&A becomes an indexed layer of clarifications.
Tip
When you ask: include the artifact context + what you tried + what exactly is confusing.

Quick start
Do these in order. You’ll feel the value immediately.

2Follow the baselineBaseline items define the expected starting path (papers, anchors, tutorials).
-
3Ask on an artifactAnchor your question to a figure/equation/paragraph so others can answer quickly and precisely.

4Resolve and reuseOnce resolved, the Q&A becomes durable knowledge your group can cite later.
Tutorial: the Schoilas workflow
A practical guide for students, researchers, and lab owners.
A. Reading → Anchors
Step 1
When you read a paper, you do not “ask generally”. You ask on a specific artifact.
Good question
“In Fig. 2, why is the upper curve normalized by $N$? I tried deriving it from Eq. (5) but the units mismatch.”
Bad question
“Can someone explain this paper?”
B. Labs → Baseline
Step 2
Labs help you coordinate learning: required items, optional references, progress tracking.
For learning spaces
Keep baseline small. Use tutorial papers/books. Encourage “naive” questions.
For research groups
Baseline = the shared assumptions. Reduce repeated onboarding cost.
C. Resolution → Knowledge layer
Step 3
Resolve questions when you reach clarity. This turns discussions into reusable infrastructure.
Rule of thumb
If a future reader can benefit from this answer, it deserves a resolution and a clean explanation.
Q&A (FAQ)
Click a question to expand. If you still need help, ask inside a Space.
A Space is a curated, discovery-friendly public lab experience. Internally it behaves like a lab:
baseline reading, progress, and discussion. Labs can be private (closed) or open communities.
Use Open for learning communities and onboarding-friendly groups. Use Closed for research groups,
private cohorts, or when membership must be controlled via invite code.
Anchor it to an artifact (figure/equation/paragraph), state what you tried, and ask one precise thing.
This dramatically reduces answer time and increases quality.
It means the question has reached a stable, useful answer. Resolutions are the “knowledge layer”
that others can reuse later without re-asking the same confusion.
Yes. AI can help draft explanations, but Schoilas is where the explanation gets attached to the
source artifact and becomes durable and shareable within a group.
