Building an E-Learning Platform

In the previous chapter, you added internationalization to your online shop project. You also built a coupon system using sessions and a product recommendation engine using Redis. In this chapter, you will start a new Django project. You will build an e-learning platform with your own content management system (CMS). Online learning platforms are a great example of applications where you need to provide tools to generate content with flexibility in mind. In this chapter, you will learn how to build the functionality for instructors to create courses and manage the contents of courses in a versatile and efficient manner.

In this chapter, you will learn how to:

  • Create fixtures for your models
  • Use model inheritance
  • Create custom model fields
  • Use class-based views and mixins
  • Build formsets
  • Manage groups and permissions
  • Create a CMS
