Abstract

This report introduces the process of creating part of a course management system which

is a data-driven website used by the instructors and students. This website has four major components: grade, marking, group, and submission. The major part of the group

component and minor part of marking component are implemented by me and the implementation details will be introduced in the report. The implementation uses a tool called

Django Framework which is an excellent open source web application frame work for complex data-driven website development. The major part of this report will introduce how to

use Django to create a database table, web page user interface and inner logic to handle

user request by going through the group component implementation process.
