E-Learning Platform Using MERN Stack is a full-stack online learning application built with MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. It enables instructors to manage courses, students to enroll and track lesson progress, and administrators to oversee users, courses, and enrollments. Key features include multimedia learning materials, course discussions, JWT authentication, and integrated payment processing.
E-Learning Platform Using MERN Stack is a full-stack web application designed to deliver online courses and organize digital learning activities. The platform provides separate workflows for students, instructors, and administrators, helping users access course content, manage learning progress, and oversee educational resources through a responsive interface.
Built with MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js, the project combines REST APIs, JWT-based authentication, Redux state management, and Chakra UI components. It demonstrates how a modern web application can bring course management, student enrollment, discussions, and payment processing together.
Students can explore their enrolled courses, access available learning materials, review lesson progress, view recent activity, and participate in course discussion threads. The dashboard keeps course information and learning activities organized in one place.
Instructors can create and manage their own courses, provide course descriptions and thumbnails, organize lesson content, and respond to student questions through course-specific discussions. Course management operations are handled through the backend API.
Administrators can view registered users, monitor courses and enrollments, and remove unauthorized content. Role-based middleware restricts administrative functions to authorized accounts.
The platform includes a payment workflow for paid courses. It supports order creation, payment verification, and enrollment after successful payment verification. The payment provider's credentials and configuration must be set up according to the supplied project files before using payment functionality.
This project is suitable for students learning full-stack JavaScript development and for demonstrating online course delivery, role-based access, REST API design, NoSQL database integration, state management, and payment workflows. It can also serve as a starting point for extending an educational platform with features such as certificates or live classes.

1. Install Node.js, npm, MongoDB, and Visual Studio Code. 2. Extract the project ZIP file and open the project folder in Visual Studio Code. 3. Open a terminal in the project root and navigate to the backend directory using: cd backend 4. Install backend dependencies using: npm install 5. Create a .env file inside the backend directory. 6. Add the environment variables: MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/elearning, JWT_SECRET=your-super-secret-key, PORT=5000 7. Replace the example JWT secret with a secure value. 8. Ensure MongoDB is running locally or configure your MongoDB Atlas connection string in MONGO_URI. 9. Start the backend from the backend directory using: node index.js 10. Open a second terminal in the project root and navigate to the frontend directory using: cd frontend 11. Install frontend dependencies using: npm install 12. Start the frontend using: npm start 13. Open the local frontend address displayed in the terminal. 14. Register or log in using a valid account. 15. Test course creation, student enrollment, lesson progress, discussion forums, and administrator features. 16. Configure any payment gateway credentials required by the supplied project files before testing paid-course purchases.
