<h1>SCORM</h1>

|
|
|
Chamilo imports and manages SCORM 1.2 contents.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
For more information on SCORM normalisation, see http://www.adlnet.org<br />
|
|
|
|
|
Chamilo does not implement the full set of SCORM 1.2 specifications, as many are not mandatory.
|
|
|
|
|

<h1>Portability</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Chamilo is an AMP software. This means it should work on any platform running Apache<br />
|
|
|
|
|
+ MySQL + PHP. It is then supposed to work on the following Operating Systems :</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Linux</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Windows (98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, VISTA)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Unix</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Mac OS X</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>It has been tested on </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Fedora, Mandrake, Red Hat Enterprise Server, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Windows XP, Windows 2000</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Mac OS X 10.3</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
We officially recommend Debian and Ubuntu operating systems for their security, packaging system, community and
|
|
|
|
|
availability to the public.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h1>Interoperability</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Chamilo imports SCORM 1.2 compliant learning contents. It imports "On the shelve"
|
|
|
|
|
contents from many companies : NETg, Skillsoft, Explio, Microsoft, Macromedia, etc.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>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.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
Many database management systems, like Oracle, SAP, Access, SQL-Server, LDAP, etc
|
|
|
|
|
export to CSV and/or XML.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Chamilo includes a LDAP module that allows admin to disable database
|
|
|
|
|
authentication and replace it by connecting to a LDAP directory.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Client side, Chamilo runs on any browser : Firefox, MS Internet Explorer
|
|
|
|
|
(9+), Chrome, Safari, Opera, ...<br />
|
|
|
|
|
For better user experience, we recommend Firefox 3.5+ (you can download it
|
|
|
|
|
freely from <a href="http://getfirefox.com">http://getfirefox.com</a>).</p>
|
