Crowducate is an open education platform. The crowd creates courses (any subject is welcome) together which are interactive and fun. Democratize education. Enjoy education.
We are currently building the 1.0 version of Crowducate. You can download and try the 1.0 Alpha version.
If you would like to contribute to the development efforts, please checkout our development branch.
- Download the most recent 1.x release
- Extract the archive file to a location on your computer
- Change to the extracted directory in your console
- Type
meteorto start the server - Test and let us know your thoughts :-)
The Crowducate platform is based on MeteorJS. So, if you want to run it locally:
- Install MeteorJS
- Install Meteorite
- Clone Crowducate:
git clone https://github.com/Crowducate/crowducate.me.git - Change to Crowducate directory:
cd crowducate.me - Run
mrt install
Note: The development branch works with Meteor 1.x.
That’s it!
*Note: * Don't update meteor. The current version only works with Meteor 0.83
