Edrys is an open-source app that helps you teach remotely.

✨ Features

  • Live Classrooms: Click on a student to talk to them, or create rooms and drag students in & out
  • Remote Labs: Allow students to interact with your real lab equipment remotely & asynchronously
  • Modular: Build your class by combining Modules or make your own with an easy real-time API
  • Easy to start: Download and run to start, no databases or any other dependencies to set up
  • Privacy-friendly: Passwordless auth with minimal student PII stored
  • Fast & Modern: Based on Deno and Vue with a deliberately small codebase
  • Free and Open Source, forever: No paywalled features or lock-in

📸 Screenshots

  • Classes dashboard: Select what class to enter or create as many as needed
  • Teacher class dashboard: Teachers get an overview of all rooms and can move students around to chat
  • Student class view: Students see their current room and are able to interact with others in the room
  • Class settings: Teachers can manage memberships, modules, and more to customize their class

💡 Use cases

  • Live online teaching: One to one, one to many, and many to many live classrooms
  • Remote Labs: Allow students to access and control live equipment remotely (eg. remote Arduino fleet)
  • Flipped classrooms and blended learning: Create modules to deliver virtually any content asynchronously
  • Group coursework: Dynamic breakout rooms and easy jumping between rooms
  • Automated Grading: Use Stations to securely auto-grade student submissions into your LMS

With modular architecture anything is possible. A whiteboard, a discussion forum, polls, or even remote Arduino programming, are all easily encapsulated into shareable modules (explore Edrys modules on GitHub).

💻 Getting Started

Start using Docker:

docker run -p 8000:8000 crosslab/edrys:latest

Alternatively, you can clone this repo and run using Deno:

deno run -A dist/app.js --address localhost:8000 --serve-path dist/static

  • 📖 Please visit our documentation to continue setting up your server and adding Modules
  • 💬 For questions and discussions, please visit our Gitter community
  • 📰 For updates and showcases, join our newsletter

❗Important

This project is not under active development anymore. You can find a serverless reimplementation at:

https://edrys-labs.github.io

... which implements a peer-to-peer approach for connecting browsers, thus, no server-hosting or configurating is required.

This lab-configurations are also compatible to the original edrys. Additionally the lab configurations can be shared and stored on github, see

for more information about the lite-version, checkout the new organization:
