| 4 | | The Courses Management System (CMS) is a relational database platform designed to support the full academic lifecycle of a higher-education institution. The database contains data about members (students and teachers), academic programs, courses and their editions, semester enrollments, exercises and exam assessments, grades, lecture materials, announcements, direct messaging between members, and surveys. The system consolidates these concerns into a single, coherent data model. Two security mechanisms are built into the design: member passwords are stored as SCRAM-SHA-256 hashes, and semester enrollment records are protected by a blockchain-inspired SHA-256 hash chain that makes retroactive tampering detectable. The intended application is a web-based course management platform serving a higher-education institution, with roles for students, teachers, and administrators. |
