LMS

Django LMS is a Learning Management System using the framework, you guessed it right, Django. The system gives students and parents a simple platform to learn online through tutorial videos. They can download presentations, lecture notes and videos if they want to.

Motivation

The project started as a challenge to improve and test my knowledge of Django. The initial version of this project was created with vanilla JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS and Bootstrap. In the future, I would like to add the instructors panel to deal with their respective subjects.
