The best and most effective PHP e-learning platform
I really loved using chamilo when compared to other e-learning platforms
Pros
It was very easy for me to install using softaculous and then setting up the platform was easy as well. Chamilo has all the basic tools for an e-learning platform. Their authoring tool is top-notch and has all the flexibility to make course authoring very easy.
Cons
I had difficulty changing the template and there is no much tutorial on the web on doing so.
Reasons for choosing Chamilo
Chamilo is very easy to use and has a growing community ready to help each other

Chamilo for language learning
Chamilo has a big potential, but still there is a lot improve, to make it be much better.
Pros
I use Chamilo a lot with my students and think it has a lot o very interesting features, for e-learning.
Cons
However, some things could be improved. I think about difficult is to use Chamilo fóruns, because bugs on design, for exemple. Also, exercises could be more easy to organize by cathegories: when we have many it is a little confuse from where to chose. Orther features could be improved too. It is also quite difficult to find help and valuable information about some procedures.
Reasons for choosing Chamilo
Because of interative exercises and hability to create lessons.

An alternative to Moodle but graphically not that appealing
A decent LMS with some valuable features but lacks collaborative possibilities that Google and Microsoft offer in their suites.
Pros
Ability to use audio in quizzes, ability to recyle lessons, ease of use to set up classes, mulitple teaching possibilities.
Cons
Graphically Chamilo stays in the past. It would be better if it grouped icons together into menus. It is often not that simple for students to navigate. No synchronous collaboration possible.
Response from Chamilo Association

6 Years with Chamilo
My overall experience with Chamilo is very good. It is a reliable platform that does not usually fail or present major problems.
Pros
Easy to use. Great flexibility. Highly customizable. Good community feedback. Frequent updates. Good communication with developers. Does not use too many resources.
Cons
Lack of updated user manuals. Missing (for me) some useful features. Some more advanced features are difficult to use. Some features require a dedicated server.
Reasons for choosing Chamilo
Because it adapts well to my needs and it is not an excessively complex or heavy platform.
Response from Chamilo Association

An open source LMS you can trust
We wanted to start with a small campus for a brand new business school that offers MBA programs worldwide, especially in Latin America. Chamilo gives us the accurate platform to scale from a few students to hundreds.
Pros
It's easy to install and you can scale from a small virtual campus to a large arrangement and keeping using open-source software.
Cons
The mobile experience is good enough from its native web interface, but having an official mobile app will be great.
Reasons for choosing Chamilo
Due to its ease of use, user accessibility, and its network of Official Providers that offer services worldwide.
Response from Chamilo Association
Thanks for your feedback. This 2021 we will make public in our github repository our mobile app.
