Atomo Schola is a community-driven educational platform organized around two major categories: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) and Humanities (History, Literature, Philosophy, Languages & Social Sciences).

Content is structured hierarchically each category contains subjects, subjects contain domains, and domains contain lessons. Anyone can browse and read lessons freely, while contributing requires an account and a specific role.

Lessons on the platform come in three formats:

• Text Lessons Rich formatted content with support for LaTeX mathematical formulas
• Video Lessons Embedded YouTube videos with descriptions
• Presentations Interactive slide-based content

To maintain consistent quality across the platform, every lesson must follow a general structure. While the majority of content is left to the creator's discretion, the following sections are required:

• 1
  Prerequisites
  List the knowledge assumed to be known by the reader to understand the lesson. Total enumeration is not required if calculus requires algebra and arithmetic, and arithmetic is already a prerequisite for algebra, you only need to specify algebra for calculus. Prefer linking to lessons within Atomo Schola, but if unavailable, specify the general chapter or topic with sufficient detail to avoid confusion.
• 2
  The Lesson
  This is the core content, whether in Word, PowerPoint, Video, or any other format. The lesson should be easily understood without a teacher, with thorough explanations and examples. Not everything needs to be memorized only understood. Materials requiring memorization belong in the next section.
• 3
  Summary
  Provide a concise summary of the lesson. All materials here are expected to be memorized. Students should be able to learn or review using only the summary, without needing the full lesson. For example, include physics formulas and phenomena, or mathematical theorems.
• 4
  Exercises
  Include problems for practicing the material presented in the lesson. The number and type are at the creator's discretion, but there should be enough for thorough practice. Ideally, exercises should cover a range of difficulties and dimensions.
• 5
  Bibliography
  List the materials used to create the lesson. Even if information comes from memory, this list should be sufficient to verify the accuracy of the presented information. Original explanations not found in sources should be clearly marked as such.

This structure ensures quality and consistency while preserving creator creativity.

Roles are hierarchical each role includes all the permissions of the roles below it. Creators are also editors and users; editors are also users.

Creators write and publish lessons on the platform. To earn the Creator role, you must first be an Editor and submit a complete original lesson for review. The Council of Creators votes on the submission — if a majority approves it, the lesson is published automatically and you are promoted to Creator.

• 1 Create a free account and become an Editor first.
• 2 Prepare and submit a complete original lesson for the Council of Creators to review.
• 3 The Council of Creators votes on your submission. A majority vote is required for approval.
• 4 If approved, your lesson is published automatically and you receive the Creator role.

The quality of your submitted lesson is the primary factor in the Council's decision.

Editors join review panels and vote on lessons submitted by creators. To earn the Editor role, propose 3 edits to 3 different published lessons via the Propose Edits page. Each edit is reviewed by the Editor Commission, which votes on it.

• 1 Propose edits to 3 different published lessons.
• 2 Each edit is reviewed by the Editor Commission, which votes to accept or reject it.
• 3 If all 3 edits are accepted, you officially become an Editor.
• 4 As an Editor, you can join review panels and vote on new lesson submissions.

Editors play an essential role in maintaining the quality standards of the platform.

When a creator submits a new lesson, it appears on the Review Dashboard visible to all editors and creators. The review process is collaborative and panel-based.

• 1
  Submission
  The creator submits the lesson. It enters the Review Dashboard with status Under Review. Creators are limited to 1 submission per day.
• 2
  Panel Assembly
  Any editor or creator (other than the lesson's creator) can voluntarily join the review panel. Up to 9 reviewers can be in a panel. Discussion happens on the platform's Discord server in a private channel coordinated by the creator.
• 3
  Vote Session
  When the creator feels the panel is ready, they open a vote session. All current panel members are notified and cast a YES or NO vote.
• 4
  Outcome
  If 7 YES votes are reached, the lesson is automatically published. If all panel members have voted without reaching 7 YES, the session closes as rejected but the creator can open a new session after further discussion and improvements.

• 7 YES votes lesson is published immediately
• All panel votes cast without 7 YES session rejected, can retry
• Staff and owners can approve or reject any lesson directly
• The lesson creator cannot join their own review panel

Creators and editors each have their own leaderboard. Since creators also have editor privileges, a creator can appear on both leaderboards simultaneously.

• Creator leaderboard requires at least 5 published lessons to qualify
• Editor leaderboard requires having voted on at least 15 accepted lessons to qualify
• Score formula: 15(avg rating 0-3 months) + 10(avg rating 3-12 months) + 7.5(avg rating 12+ months) + 1(total published)
• The top 7 creators and top 7 editors are invited to join their respective commission for a one-month term
• If someone declines the invitation, the spot passes to the next person on the leaderboard

Commissions are the governing bodies that vote on role upgrade proposals and new lesson submissions.
