Eruditio

A tutoring platform created as a final project for Salt.

Eruditio uses WebRTC to allow users to make real time video calls. Besides WebRTC, we have used the following main technologies:

• NodeJS and Express for the backend
• ReactJS for the frontend
• MongoDB for the database

What is Eruditio?

Eruditio allows people who want to learn a new skill or need help with a subject to find and connect with a suitable tutor. Once connected, student and tutor can have an online meeting via video call on the website.

  You will need to create Google credentials for your app and update your .env file accordingly.

• Populate the database (optional):

  node server/scripts/populateDb.js

• Start the server in development mode on another terminal:

  cd server && npm run restart
