<h1>About Chamilo</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The Chamilo Project</h2>
|
|
|
|
The Chamilo project is the combined entities of the Chamilo Software, the Chamilo Community and the Chamilo Association.
|
|
The project pursues the goal of "Increasing the availability of quality education worldwide" since 2010.
|
|
|
|
<h2>The Chamilo Software</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Chamilo is an e-learning and course management web application, a free software under the <a href="license.html">GNU/GPLv3+ license</a>.
|
|
It's translated into more 30 languages, SCORM 1.2 compatible, light and flexible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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, take exams and participate actively
|
|
through groups, forums, chat.
|
|
Administrators provide support to trainers and trainee.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Technically speaking, Chamilo is a web application written in PHP that stores data in a MariaDB/MySQL database.
|
|
Users access it using a web browser.<br>
|
|
The first stable version of Chamilo, 1.8.6.2 Salto (early 2010), was based on the Dokeos(TM) 1.8.6.1
|
|
code. Dokeos(TM) was itself forked from the Claroline (first published in 2001) project in late 2003.<br>
|
|
Chamilo has progressed considerably since its early days, and cannot be, for most purposes, compared to
|
|
Dokeos(TM) and Claroline in any reasonable way, but it is important to mention those ancestors as we recognized
|
|
their historical significance and it means Chamilo was technically born in 2001, as a fork is a continuation of
|
|
the previous project, albeit with different ideals.
|
|

|
|
our homepage at <a href="https://chamilo.org">https://chamilo.org</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The Chamilo Community</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Chamilo community engulfs the users, translators, designers, thinkers and developers who have contributed
|
|
something to the Chamilo project (we count them as "contributors") and the people who have used our software,
|
|
have learnt from anything that were taught through it or by it, have shared or lived experiences thanks to the
|
|
Chamilo software or the rest of the Chamilo community.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The Chamilo Association</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Chamilo is also an association under Spanish law, backed up by a network of private partners to coordinate
|
|
efforts/contributions around Chamilo and promote its availability as a Free Software in the sense of its
|
|
Free Software licence. Private partners, or providers, assist companies and institutions in their e-learning
|
|
projects for a fee, with which they contribute to the Chamilo project in a number of ways.
|
|
This network also promotes professional versions of Chamilo solutions, which
|
|
consist of complete packages of services based on Chamilo (see https://chamilo.org/providers for more details)</p>

<h1>Features</h1>
|
|
|
|
This is a non-exhaustive list of features. Chamilo contains hundreds of thousands of lines of code, split into many
|
|
tools and options provided to the final user, so an exhaustive list has never really be compiled.

|
<h1>Portability</h1>
|
|
<p>Chamilo is an "AMP" software. This means it should work on any platform running Apache<br />
|
|
+ MySQL + PHP. It is thus supposed to work on the following Operating Systems, given the proper software stack support:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Linux</li>
|
|
<li> Windows (98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, VISTA)</li>
|
|
<li> Unix</li>
|
|
<li> Mac OS X</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
We officially recommend using Debian and Ubuntu operating systems for their security, packaging system, community and
|
|
availability to the public.<br />
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<h1>Interoperability</h1>

|
|
contents from many companies and custom content developed through authoring tools exporting to SCORM 1.2.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Admins can imports users through CSV, XML or deeper integrations with HR or administrative systems through REST webservices</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Chamilo includes authentication features that allow admins to disable database authentication and replace it by connecting to a LDAP, OKTA, AD or OAuth2.0 federated accounts management systems.</p>
|
|
|
|
