Technically, Chamilo is a web application written in PHP that stores data in a MySQL database.
Users access it using a web browser.
The first stable version of Chamilo, 1.8.6.2 Salto, was based on the Dokeos(TM) 1.8.6.1 code and
can be used to upgrade institutions away from Dokeos or Claroline 1.*.




If you would like to know more or help develop this software, please visit

SCORM


Chamilo imports and manages SCORM 1.2 contents.

For more information on SCORM normalisation, see http://www.adlnet.org

Chamilo does not implement the full set of SCORM 1.2 specifications, as many are not mandatory.
Check our website for more details.

IMS/LTI


Since version 1.11.10, Chamilo also fully supports IMS/LTI 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, Outcomes and Deep Linking.

License



Chamilo is distributed under the GNU General Public license (GNU/GPLv3+).


Read the GNU General Public license (GPL) .




Portability


Chamilo is an AMP software. This means it should work on any platform running Apache

+ MySQL + PHP. It is then supposed to work on the following Operating Systems :




  • Linux

  • Windows (98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, VISTA)

  • Unix

  • Mac OS X




It has been tested on



  • Fedora, Mandrake, Red Hat Enterprise Server, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian

  • Windows XP, Windows 2000

  • Mac OS X 10.3


We officially recommend Debian and Ubuntu operating systems for their security, packaging system, community and
availability to the public.


E-mail functions remain silent on systems where there is no mail sending software
(Sendmail, Postfix, Exim4, Hamster...), which is the case by default on a Windows machine.



Interoperability



Chamilo imports SCORM 1.2 compliant learning contents. It imports "On the shelve"
contents from many companies : NETg, Skillsoft, Explio, Microsoft, Macromedia, etc.



Admin interface imports users through CSV and XML. You can create a CSV file
from a list of users in MS-Excel. OpenOffice can export to both CSV and XML
formats.

Many database management systems, like Oracle, SAP, Access, SQL-Server, LDAP, etc
export to CSV and/or XML.



Chamilo includes a LDAP module that allows admin to disable database
authentication and replace it by connecting to a LDAP directory.



Client side, Chamilo runs on any browser : Firefox, Internet Explorer
(11+), Chrome, Safari, Opera, ...

For better user experience, we recommend Firefox (you can download it
freely from http://getfirefox.com).

to assist companies and institutions in their e-learning projects. This
network also promotes professional versions of Chamilo solutions, which
consist of complete packages of services (see https://chamilo.org/providers
