About Chamilo


Chamilo is an e-learning and course management web application, a free software under the GNU/GPLv3+ license.
It's translated into more 30 languages, SCORM 1.2 compatible, light and flexible.



Chamilo supports many different kinds of learning and collaboration activities.
Teachers/trainers can create, manage and publish their courses through the web.
Students/trainees can follow courses, read content or participate actively
through groups, forums, chat.
Administrators provide support to trainers and trainee




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 is
meant to be the next software step for institutions currently using Dokeos.




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

our homepage at https://chamilo.org


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.


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
(9+), 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
