<h1>About Chamilo</h1>

<div id="outerframe">
<div id="main">
<p>Chamilo is an elearning and course management web application,<br />

and is free software (GNU/GPLv3). It's translated into more 30 languages,<br />

SCORM compatible, light and flexible.</p>


<p>Chamilo supports many different kinds of learning and collaboration activities.<br />

Teachers/trainers can create, manage and publish their courses through the web.<br />

Students/trainees can follow courses, read content or participate actively<br />

through groups, forums, chat.</p>


<p>Technically, Chamilo is a web application written in PHP that stores data in a <br />

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.</p>


<p>If you would like to know more or help develop this software, please visit<br />

our homepage at <a href="http://www.chamilo.org">http://www.chamilo.org</a></p>


<h1>SCORM</h1>

Chamilo FREE imports 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. Check our website for more details.<br />

<h1>License</h1>

<p>Chamilo is distributed under the GNU General Public license (GNU/GPLv3).<br />

Read the <a href="licence.html">GNU General Public license (GPL)</a> .</p>


<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, 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, community and availability to the public.<br />

<p>E-mail functions remain silent on systems where there is no mail sending software<br />

(Sendmail, Postfix, 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 then "On the shelve"<br />

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<br />

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 ...<br />

export to CSV and/or XML.</p>

<p>Chamilo includes a LDAP module that allows admin to disable database authentication<br />

and replace it by connection to a LDAP directory.</p>

<p>Client side, Chamilo runs on any browser : Firefox, MS Internet Explorer (5.0+), Netscape (4.7+),<br />

Mozilla (1.2+), 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>
