Existing portals are currently connected, in production stage, to Oracle®, OpenID®, Drupal®, OpenERP®, LDAP®, Prestashop®, Joomla®, PeopleSoft® and more... Find your nearest official provider in our "Support" tab and get your staff trained already!

Innovative

The future of teaching is bright, and so is Chamilo. With developments into adaptive assessment, social and mobile learning, skills management and many more other topics, the Chamilo association and high-technology members ensure you get a free software with the latest innovation from around the world.

Long term thinking

Chamilo is thinking both ahead and long-term. By founding the Chamilo Association, we protect the best interest of the long-term development of the application. By partnering up with the flexible and dynamic businesses, we ensure we don't loose grip on the quickly evolving needs of the learning community.

Ethically correct

With a strong presence in the 3rd world, Chamilo members go on the field and use their skills to help the people in need. Chamilo association leaders are supporting the integration with One Laptop Per Child laptops, trying to understand the challenges of blind children, and other socially responsible projects.

Chamilo LCMS Connect 3: New release!

Dear user, as you might know, here at Chamilo we currently have two branches: Chamilo LMS and Chamilo LCMS Connect. This piece of news is related only to Chamilo LCMS Connect exclusively. Both branches have independent releases and both the LCMS and the LMS teams will keep publishing new releases for each branch.

This being said, this week the new Chamilo LCMS Connect 3 is released.
Codename: ‘Bradypodion’: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradypodion).

After a test run of nearly a year in several institutions the release is finally a fact.

The basic concept is connectivity:
   - connect with your favorite sites on your adaptable homepage
   - publish your content in an LMS
   - collaborate with peers

You can testrun ‘Bradypodion’ on: http://trylcms.chamilo.org.

More information and documentation on http://lcms.chamilo.org or via http://www.chamilo.org.

Bugfixing marathon

Start: 27/04/2013

End: 27/04/2013

Timezone: Europe/Brussels

Free software is a great gift which benefits all users. It condenses the effort of hundreds of people who selflessly contribute for others to enjoy an advanced technological system for online training as Chamilo.

But if all people that contributes stop doing so, and only users remain... then free software model does not work. We should all give something to continue growing, otherwise we all lose. Schools from socially and economically disadvantaged areas lose, the small and medium enterprises that will not have otherwise capacity to buy expensive private online training systems lose, hundreds of social projects that use Chamilo to distribute their training lose ... This is why we ask for help.
