CourseHub: Empowering Educators, Equipping Learners

Project Overview

CourseHub is a web-based platform designed to bridge the gap between educators and learners. It offers a streamlined platform for teachers to upload and manage their courses, while allowing students to discover, enroll, and access enriching educational content.

Key Features

• Course Management System (CMS) for Teachers:
  • Intuitive Angular UI for effortless course creation and management.
  • Upload various course materials, including videos, documents, presentations, and more.
  • Structure courses with modules and lessons for organized learning.
  • Set access permissions and manage student enrollment.
• Learning Management System (LMS) for Students:
  • User-friendly interface for course discovery and enrollment.
  • Access a diverse range of courses from various educators.
  • Progress through course modules at their own pace.
  • Track learning progress and achievements.
• Robust Backend (ASP.NET Core and SQL Server):
  • Secure and scalable infrastructure to handle growing user base and course content.
  • Efficient data management using SQL Server for a seamless user experience.
  • RESTful API for potential integrations with mobile apps or other platforms (future development).

Technologies Used

• Frontend: Angular (for a dynamic and interactive user interface)
• Backend: ASP.NET Core (for robust server-side logic and API development)
• Database: SQL Server (for efficient data storage and retrieval)

Getting Started
