Knowledge (Collaborative Learning Library) — sub‑module under KonnectED.
Implements five concrete services with code‑names, backed by specific tables and fixed parameters, and exposed through the /learn and /course/ flows.
Code‑name → service module mapping follows the v14 inventory convention.
| Display name | Code name / service | Purpose / behavior | Likely file or module |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collaborative Library | library_resource_management | CRUD, classify, and publish library resources; enforce type enums and moderation. | services/library_resource_management.py |
| Personalized Recommendations | personalized_recommendation | Suggest resources per learner profile, usage, and expertise signals. | services/personalized_recommendation.py |
| Co‑Creation Tools | content_co_creation | Real‑time authoring/versioning of lessons and media with contribution workflow. | services/content_co_creation.py |
| Thematic Forums | thematic_forum | Subject‑based discussion boards tied to resources and courses. | services/thematic_forum.py |
| Learning Progress Tracking | learning_progress_tracking | Track per‑user progress and completion across resources/lessons. | services/learning_progress_tracking.py |
Library management & contribution. Resource CRUD with enforced content types, draft/publish states, and per‑user draft caps; surfaced in /learn.
Search & discovery. Full‑text search over titles/descriptions using the platform’s PostgreSQL tsvector backend; results feed the library listing and global search.
Recommendations. Periodic or on‑demand generation of KnowledgeRecommendation rows per user; ranking blends popularity, recency, and profile relevance.
Co‑creation workflow. Collaborative editing spaces for lessons/media with versioned CoCreationContribution entries; authors can iterate before publishing to the library.
Forums. Topic and post threads by theme/subject with moderation hooks; linked from resource or course views and listed under /learn.
Progress tracking & player. The /course/[slug] player reads/writes LearningProgress to drive completion %, resumes, and achievements.
Offline distribution. Scheduled packaging of selected knowledge content for low‑connectivity environments.
Custom tables for Knowledge, Co‑Creation, and Forums; plus recommendation/progress records.
| Table / Model | Purpose | Key fields |
|---|---|---|
| KnowledgeResource | Canonical library item (article, video, lesson, quiz, dataset). | id, title, type (enum), url, author |
| KnowledgeRecommendation | Records a recommended resource for a user. | id, user, resource, recommended_at |
| LearningProgress | Per‑user progress for a resource/lesson. | id, user, resource, progress_percent (unique per user+resource) |
| CoCreationProject | Collaborative content project container. | id, title, status (enum) |
| CoCreationContribution | Individual draft/edit within a project. | id, project, user, content |
| ForumTopic | Thematic forum thread (subject/question). | id, title, category, creator |
| ForumPost | Post/reply within a topic. | id, topic, author, content |
Allowed content types (enum): article, video, lesson, quiz, dataset.
Draft cap: MAX_CONTRIBUTION_DRAFTS = 10 per user.
Search backend: SEARCH_BACKEND = "postgres" (tsvector).
Offline packaging schedule: OFFLINE_PACKAGE_CRON = 0 3 * * SUN.
Navigation: /learn (Catalog, Recommendations, Offline Download) and /course/[slug] (Course Player: Lessons, Assessments, Progress).
Knowledge delivers the learning library and its social layer: resource management, personalized recommendations, collaborative authoring, themed forums, and progress tracking. It provides five named services (library_resource_management, personalized_recommendation, content_co_creation, thematic_forum, learning_progress_tracking) mapped to Django modules and backed by concrete tables and parameters, integrated with /learn and /course/ UX.
