Building the course models

Our e-learning platform will offer courses on various subjects. Each course will be divided into a configurable number of modules, and each module will contain a configurable number of contents. There will be contents of various types: text, file, image, or video. The following example shows what the data structure of our course catalog will look like:

Subject 1  Course 1    Module 1      Content 1 (image)      Content 2 (text)    Module 2      Content 3 (text)      Content 4 (file)      Content 5 (video)      ...

Let's build the course models. Edit the models.py file of the courses application and add the following code to it:

from django.db import modelsfrom django.contrib.auth.models import Userclass Subject(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) ...
