###Project name: Django Mooc: Dreaming of Teachers Incorporating Technologies

MOOC Project for Software Design and Development at Clarkson University

Description

MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course which is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. This project allows any academic institute to organize their courses and efficiently distribute course materials quickly to a large amounts of students.

Installation

###Prerequisites

Tested with Python2.7
Linux See attached INSTALL script

Run INSTALL.sh as sudo

Command:

sudo ./INSTALL.sh

cd ~/software-d-and-d

source venv/bin/activate

python setup.py install #for the django-scheduler

This will create a directory ~/software-d-and-d

After you are in that directory, the last command will enter the virtual environment

Running the Test Server

You must run the test server outside of the virtualenv and execute with sudo access. This is because of the issue with matplotlib working inside a virtualenv The command inside the project is:

sudo python manage.py runserver

Registration Testing

To run the email server for resgistration, execute the following commands in the directory with manage.py:

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

sudo python manage.py runserver #outside of virtualenv

Making test objects

Follow this tutorial to make your psql work without using a password (this is obviously unsafe but this is a toy and we don't have valuable data anyway):

http://sharadchhetri.com/2013/08/17/how-to-set-user-postgres-password-in-postgresql-9-1/

Become the postgresuser using: sudo su postgres
Enter the postgresql shell using: psql
drop database mooc_database;
exit the psql shell with \q, then as postgres enter: createdb mooc_database
as yourself, do manage.py syncdb
flush your database using manage.py flush. this should redo the database and prompt you to create a new admin and whatnot
open the django shell (manage.py shell) and enter: from make_fake_data import make_data; make_data()

This should make a bunch of user objects, one of them is an instructor and the rest are students.

It enrolls the students in a Django Class and adds one of each assignment type and two lectures.

Instructions

Install all dependecies
Configure database and run email test server
