online training application

[Mike Dewhirst]

I need to write an online training application - except I don't know a
lot about online training.

Do you know more than me? Have you written something you might share?

It sort of feels a bit like Mezzanine.

The training material exists and the students are somewhat used to
powerpoint or video instruction followed by an associated questionnaire
per piece of instruction. The organisation needs to know how successful
each student is after absorbing the training.

I can see a question model with an image and a couple of text fields to
contain the training information which needs to be absorbed by the
student plus the question(s) which the student must answer.

Then I can see an answer model with fk to question. Maybe it needs to be
a generic/abstract answer model because some answers will be multiple
choice, some will be numeric and who knows what other data will be involved.

Obviously there will need to be a correct_answer model which the student
never sees.

Hope there is someone who has done it already.

Thanks for any ideas

Hi Mike,

The immediate thought that comes to mind is moodle.org. I know it's not django or python - it's php.

I only suggest it as I have worked for a number of years in IT for primary/secondary education institutions and I'm currently back at university, and in all these situations it was heavily used.

It can be as simple or as complex as desired, but I can see merit in creating something from scratch to prevent having to learn something new and exactly to the organisations requirements.

So with that in mind, maybe having a look around the moodle site and documentation might give some ideas into how to create your models.

Thanks Josh - just had a dabble and there is a lot there. Heaps of food
for thought.

Cheers

Please, have a look at OpenEdx[1]. It is also a LMS like Moodle written using Django.
