<h1>About Chamilo</h1>
<p>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.</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 or participate actively
through groups, forums, chat.

<p>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.*.
</p>


<p>If you would like to know more or help develop this software, please visit<br />
our homepage at <a href="https://chamilo.org">https://chamilo.org</a></p>
<h1>SCORM</h1>
Chamilo imports and manages SCORM 1.2 contents.<br />
For more information on SCORM normalisation, see https://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>IMS/LTI</h1>
Since version 1.11.10, Chamilo also fully supports IMS/LTI 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, Outcomes and Deep Linking.<br />
Since version 1.11.12, Chamilo also fully supports IMS/LTI 1.3.<br />

<h1>License</h1>

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

Read the <a href="license.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, 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 shelves"
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 an LDAP module that allows admin to disable database
authentication and replace it by connecting to an LDAP directory.</p>

<p>Client side, Chamilo runs on any browser : Firefox, Internet Explorer
(11+), Chrome, Safari, Opera, ...<br />
For better user experience, we recommend Firefox (you can download it
freely from <a href="https://getfirefox.com">https://getfirefox.com</a>).</p>

to assist companies and institutions in their e-learning projects. This
network also promotes professional versions of Chamilo solutions, which
