there are currently two types of user, a student or a teacher, and they can only be one or the other for a given email address.
currently it uses dummy data, i plan to implement the backend and link it to this frontend so that users will be able to create course content and view it.
this is a nextjs project so requires node (nodejs) v22.x.x and npm v10.x.x
first time - npm i to install dependencies into node_modules/
npm run dev to run local development build (use this to develop)
npm run build to build ready for production (fix build errors from here)
