DJ-LMP1

This is the pre-MVP repository for experimentation. It is designed to serve as a scratch pad for ideas. There will be no releases and no organized branching / tag strategy. It is a place to incubate and test dj-lmp ideas.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/csev/dj-lmp1
cd dj-lmp1
virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install django
python -m django --version
# Should be 5.0.1
cp config/settings-sqlite.py config/settings.py

When you come back in,

cd dj-lmp1
source .venv/bin/activate

Quick Start

You can start and run the application as follows

cd dj-lmp1
source .venv/bin/activate
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py runserver

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin and log in.

To reset the database:

rm db.sqlite3
rm */migrations/0*
python manage.py makemigrations
...

Hierarchy Design Notes

As our first data model exercise, we need to think through a hierarchy as shown in 1EdTech OneRoster. At minimum, dj-lmp would want to consume OneRoster - probably we should plan on producing it as well. Once you have the data model, why not?

This overlaps with LTI in a lot of areas - in particular in Roles:

An excellent LTI 1.3 library from which much inspiration and code will be taken.

Crypto library (depends on cryptography):

The LMS that is best at Hierachy is D2L. D2L was influential in the creation of OneRoster.

We need to build a hierarchical data model:
