Welcome to Galvoro.

Galvoro is a platform for hosting and sharing capsules — small interactive learning experiences built around a single concept in higher education. Capsules are self-contained HTML mini-apps, easy to build with AI coding assistants (see how to make a capsule).

The Galvoro platform hosts these capsules: share what you build, discover what others make, and embed any capsule anywhere — Canvas, a course page, a personal site.

Galvoro’s core formats are short and concept-focused — designed to augment a lecture, not replace one. Open a five-minute capsule alongside a slide, drop one into a class as an in-the-moment exercise, or share one with students as a follow-up:

PLAY/LEARN— Pick-up-and-play games with an attached LEARN mode that explains the concept behind the game.

EXPLAIN— Animated mini-explainers, typically focused on a single concept and not interactive.

STUDY— Tools for studying or self-testing. Gamified flashcards, exam-prep quizzes.

TEACH— Built for in-class use — lecturer-driven games and polls on the lecture screen.

Galvoro also hosts EXPLORE capsules — longer-form explorable explanations in the tradition of explorabl.es. These can replace a lecture rather than augment it. They’re a smaller part of the Galvoro library, since most of what we host is designed to slot into existing teaching rather than substitute for it.

About the creator: I’m Sacha Epskamp — an associate professor at the National University of Singapore, where I teach research methods, statistics, and data science. I built Galvoro because I wanted my students to learn the way I do: by playing with ideas, not just reading about them.
