The NF-Trainer is a learning application for transforming database tables into the first 3 normal forms. The application was originally developed by the Cologne University of Applied Sciences for the online learning platform edb and is now maintained as part of the EILD.nrw project, which aims to unify and improve the quality and reusability of database lectures and resources.
This tool is currently a docker-based express server with an included postgres-database. It is written in JavaScript and uses Pug as a templating engine.
A SCORM / LTI version is currently planned as well.
