Welcome to Cameroon, welcome to the doctor learning management system. Our slogan "More than learning, It's a life taste" Speaks for itself. We're giving a taste to the old lifestyle. We offer another vision of life and education..

Lately, we have witnessed a lot of disruptions in our traditional educational system. In 2019 for example, where most activities throughout the whole world were halted due to the presence of a deadly virus (Covid 19 Pandemic). In addition to that, we have witnessed other severe cases like the war ongoing in Ukraine which disrupts the normal learning program of students as they are unable to leave their houses because of fear. The list is of such happenings which disrupt the education of students is very long.

The education of our children is vital and should not be a matter of uncertainty. Regardless of the scenario, we should be able to continuously provide quality education to our children because they are the future.

In response to all these pandemics and to others that we predict might happen that will temper with education, we got the idea of bringing forward a modern learning platform to make the day of all students very productive.

Luckily, Google has a collection of well-predesigned solutions to help us create robust and quality products and solutions to remedy these problems. Using these well-crafted Google products and their APIs such as Google Maps, Google Classroom, Firebase, Google Calendar, Gooogle Translate, Google vision we gave birth to our baby (DocLMS).

What is DocLMS all about?
While a learning management system might sound like a pretty basic and straightforward system to implement, it becomes a whole different thing when we start adding these technologies and features to make students get the best and most comfortable and reliable experience of learning even in their discomfort and pandemic hit zones.

You might be tempted to think - "Oh! an LMS? Nothing new we know that", give me some minutes let me present this product to you and its feature that makes it our pride.

The DocLMS is a product built that makes a perfect mixture of the Django framework and Firebase at the backend and for the frontend is more than just a normal template made of HTML, CSS, and javascript. Instead, it is an alliance of different frameworks such as Boostrap, TailwindCSS, Jquery and Reactjs. We are aimed at using the google technologies to get an optimized solution for education.

The core features
Doctor LMS is more than a normal LMS. It doesn't only help you by teaching you but also it is aimed at helping you by taking care of your health. Using in-built google machine learning from firebase and google translate APIs, we get closer to our user's health, status and get to speak the same language as they do. Below are the core features we do offer.

Blog: Getting to know what we do, the services we offer, and any updates were the reasons why we integrated a blog into our platform. The blog implementation is an achievement of the linkage between Django and Google Firestore. Go and learn of the project from our blog.

LMS: The main aim of the platform, is the online learning management system built with the Django framework and supported by google firebase as a backend and authentification framework. This LMS is a no boundary LMS in terms of language spoken, this was achieved by the google translate API to solve the problem of language barriers. In Cameroon, bilingualism is an idle situation so we're not that way 100% bilingual, some are francophones and others anglophones.

Find my way: The university of Bamenda s one of the largest universities in Cameroon, and navigating on campus can be a tedious task both for newbies and veterans. This led to the development of a page where a map of the campus is found with restricted boundaries just to that campus. The map has all the halls, gates, and roads of the campus registered, moving from one point to another easily is like a kid's game. We handle your stay on campus from the 1st to the 31st.

Our primary focus when typing django-admin start project doclms was to solve a few goals on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. As engineers to be we opted to solve some real-life problems. Below are the points which inspired us to give birth to this platform. Below are the points we targetted on these goals.

Quality Education : The future is education and education is the feature. DocLMS is a learning world where everyone is free of learning at his/her ease. What's best if it's not to offer an appropriate means of educating the next generation.
