MermaidBuild the database structure for online learning. This template maps the complete LMS data architecture — from instructors creating courses, through student enrollments and assignments, to grading and feedback. It helps teams build custom learning platforms, integrate with existing LMS systems, or plan educational technology solutions that scale.
How to create ERD Educational Learning Management System
To create a ERD educational learning management system, follow these steps:
01.
Identify entities
Define the core academic objects your system needs (e.g., Student, Instructor, Course, Enrollment, Assignment, Grade).
02.
List attributes
For each entity, specify what educational data it stores, including data types (int, string, datetime) for IDs, names, dates, and scores.
03.
Mark keys
Identify primary keys (PK) for unique identification and foreign keys (FK) that link students to enrollments, courses to instructors, and assignments to grades.
04.
Create entity boxes
Draw rectangles for each entity with attributes inside, clearly marking PKs and FKs to show academic relationships.
05.
Map learning flow
Determine how data moves through the educational process — instructors teach courses, students enroll in courses, courses include assignments, students receive grades.
06.
Handle enrollments
Use the Enrollment junction table to manage the many-to-many relationship between students and courses, capturing when students join classes.
07.
Add relationship lines
Connect entities with proper cardinality notation (||--o{ for one-to-many, }|--|| for many-to-one) showing how academic records relate.
08.
Review & share
Share the diagram for LMS development, student information system integration, gradebook implementation, or educational platform planning.
