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

• 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

• 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

• 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).

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

• an overview on existing laboratories here:

  https://github.com/topics/edrys-lab

• and these are existing modules:
