LMs System Requirements Document

Introduction

The LMs project aims to develop an AI-based, multi-tenant Learning Management System (LMS) combined with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) capabilities. This platform will cater to educational institutions and corporate training environments, offering comprehensive module support and scalable architecture. The system will leverage Django for the backend, Next.js for the web frontend, and Flutter for mobile applications, ensuring separate branding and database schema for each tenant.

System Overview

The LMs platform is designed to be a robust, enterprise-grade SaaS solution that integrates LMS and ERP functionalities with AI-driven features. The architecture supports multi-tenancy, allowing each tenant to have distinct users, branding, settings, and database schemas. The platform will provide a wide range of modules, including student management, teacher management, course management, and various ERP functions such as HR, accounting, and inventory management. AI capabilities will enhance the system by offering features like automated grading, personalized learning paths, and predictive analytics.

Signature Design Concept

Interactive Learning Galaxy

The homepage will feature an interactive galaxy map where each star represents a feature or section of the platform. Users can click on a star to open a detailed view of that feature, such as courses, assignments, or analytics. Dragging the galaxy will rotate the cluster, and hovering over a star will highlight its connections to related features. This concept will be built using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for a 3D interactive experience.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing hero will depict a dynamic scene where educational inputs (books, digital devices, students) gather around a central AI-powered hub. As the hub processes these inputs, it transforms them into personalized learning paths and insights, visually represented by animated pathways leading to student success icons (graduation caps, certificates). This animation will be created using motion/react for smooth transitions and interactions.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Parallax
• The landing page will feature layered depth via scroll, with decorative elements translating at different speeds to create a visually rich first impression. Real content will scroll naturally, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the platform.

Non-Functional Requirements

• Scalability: The platform must support multiple tenants with separate databases and branding.
• Security: Implement robust authentication and authorization mechanisms.
• Performance: Ensure fast load times and responsive interactions across web and mobile platforms.
• Reliability: Maintain high availability and fault tolerance.
• Usability: Provide an intuitive user interface for all user personas.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Django, Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, Django Channels
• Mobile: Flutter
• AI: OpenAI, Gemini, Claude APIs, LangChain, pgvector
• Multi-Tenant: django-tenants or custom schema-based solution

Assumptions and Constraints

• Each tenant will have a separate database schema to ensure data isolation.
• The platform will support custom domain configurations for each tenant.
• AI features will require integration with external APIs and services.
• The system must comply with data protection regulations applicable in India.
