===================

edx-milestones (`milestones`) is a Django application which manages significant Course and/or Student events in the Open edX platform.

Usage
-----
* A Milestone represents an event which can occur for a student while interacting with the Open edX platform.

* Relationships can be created between courses or individual sections of course content (referred to collectively as course entities going forward) and a Milestone. A relationship can indicate that a course entity either requires or fulfills a given Milestone.

* Student milestone fulfillment status can be recorded and queried.

* An example feature which Milestones supports is Pre-requisite Courses:
* Course author selects Course 101 in Studio as a pre-requisite of Course 102
* Studio:
* Makes call to Milestones service API
* Milestones:
* Creates a new generic Milestone A for Course 101
* Indicates that Course 101 fulfills Milestone A
* Indicates that Course 102 requires Milestone A
* Student Smith completes Course 101
* LMS:
* Makes call to Milestones service API
* Milestones:
* Pulls the list of milestones fulfilled by Course 101 (set includes Milestone A)
* Indicates that Student Smith has accomplished Milestone A
* Student Smith attempts to access Course 102
* LMS:
* Uses Milestones service API to compare Course 102 milestone requirements against Student Smith's milestones
* Grants Student Smith access to Course 102
