About edrys-Lite
Welcome to the edrys-Lite blog! This is where we share our journey of creating a lighter, more accessible approach to classroom technology.
What is edrys-Lite?
edrys-Lite is an open-source educational platform that brings simplicity back to digital classrooms. Born from the belief that educational technology should empower rather than overwhelm, we’ve created a streamlined system that requires:
- No installation
- No server setup
- No user accounts
- No database configuration
Instead, edrys-Lite offers a browser-based collaborative learning environment that just works, letting educators focus on teaching rather than troubleshooting.
Our Philosophy
We believe educational technology should be:
- Accessible to everyone - regardless of technical skill or infrastructure
- Genuinely helpful - enhancing teaching and learning, not complicating it
- Respectful of privacy - minimizing data collection and storage
- Adaptable to different contexts - from formal classrooms to informal learning spaces
Technical Approach
edrys-Lite embraces modern web technologies to create a lightweight yet powerful platform:
- Built with modern JavaScript and web standards
- Uses peer-to-peer connections to eliminate server dependencies
- Employs executable notebooks for interactive learning experiences
- Integrates seamlessly with LiaScript for rich educational content
