Hace fácil el e-learning!
Nos permitió, en muy poco tiempo, migrar nuestra programación de formación presencial a formato virtual, mediante una herramienta perfectamente integrada en el funcionamiento de nuestra organización. Recibimos soporte de nuestra proveedora, Contidos Dixitais, durante todo el proceso, ese acompañamiento fue muy importante par el éxito de la implantación. Nuestro alumnado nos devuelve una opinión favorable sobre la plataforma de teleformación.
Pros
Nos ha resultado muy fácil integrarlo en los servicios que ofrecíamos en la organización. La rapidez en la que nuestro proveedor, Contidos Dixitais, realizó la adaptación e implementación del campus nos permitió migrar nuestra programación a elearning en muy poco tiempo. La integración del aula virtual para realizar sesiones de videoconferencia.
Cons
Me gustaría poder realizar una gestión y clasificación de usuarios más sencilla. El funcionamiento de los foros a veces resulta engorroso para el alumnado.
Reasons for Choosing Chamilo
Por las condiciones en las que nos ofrecían la implementación del servicio: costes, plazos, adaptación, por la confianza que me ofrecía nuestra proveedora.

LIBERTAD, FUNCIONALIDAD Y FUTURO
Estamos en general muy satisfechos con Chamilo. Nuestros clientes pueden vivir una experiencia de calidad, desde cualquier dispositivo y nosotros contamos con mucha libertad y flexibilidad para trabajar y crear contenido. La comunicación con nuestro partner es muy fluida y poco a poco vamos mejorando la herramienta conjuntamente con desarrollos que se ajustan a nuestras necesidades específicas.
Pros
Lo mejor de Chamilo es las posibilidades de ofrecer una experiencia amable e instructiva para el alumnado. Por otro lado resulta muy cómodo contar con usuarios ilimitados, esto permite que cada alumno mantenga su cuenta y pueda acceder para actualizar sus datos, descargar certificados o interactuar en la red social sin que suponga un coste extra. Además se trata de una herramienta muy flexible, por lo que contamos con mucha libertad a la hora de incluir nuevas formaciones, adaptar el campus a las necesidades de cada cliente, etc.
Cons
En cuanto a la experiencia del tutor considero que se podrían mejorar aspectos relacionados con los informes de los alumnos, posibilidad de ordenarlos por avance, número de horas, empresa etc. Por otro lado, sería muy útil poder realizar comunicados atendiendo a estos datos: alumnos que no hayan alcanzado un determinado porcentaje de avance, alumnos que hayan finalizado, alumnos que tienes determinadas tareas pendientes, etc.
Reasons for Choosing Chamilo
Por la flexibilidad, calidad/precio, experiencia del alumno y alumnos ilimitados.
Reasons for Switching to Chamilo
Por la flexibilidad, las posibilidades de desarrollo a medida, los alumnos ilimitados y la experiencia del alumno.

Cuando el potencial de un buen producto es afectado por la falta de visión...
Bien en el precio y una vez que uno llega a algo mediocre pero que funciona, funciona. Hit and miss.. Me frustra la falta de visión que implica el UX y el diseño y que los desarrolladores no se dejen influir por el mismo. Me frustra que pedir una aclaración tonta les genere tanta frustración, como si uno debiera saber lo que ellos saben, porque cuando uno busca la respuesta en los manuales no esta, y cuando uno llama para preguntar en que debo hacer click para que funcionen quieran cobrar como si fuera una hora de desarrollador especializado. Como si explicar estas cosas es robarle trabajo a otra persona!
Pros
Su facilidad de instalación con relativos pocos problemas sacado de la caja. Lo poco que esta integrado esta medianamente bien integrado.
Cons
Su poca capacidad de personalización. Tiene muchas funcionalidades del e-learning y debo instalar todas o ninguna Haciendo dificil la personalización hacia los profesores o sistemas específicos de e-learning En materia de diseño si bien es flexible desde el punto de escribir código y mas o menos hacer que luzca como uno quiere, esto requiere de personas con conocimiento de código para modificarlo... Hay toda un área desperdiciada de desarrollo de diseño que facilitaria la aceptación del e-learning (los diseños son de la epoca del primer windows 95 y cuando mac saco su primer performa no parece haber ni conciencia ni interes en el desarrollo de user experience and design. Las herramientas educativas estan bien diseñadas pero solo una persona que sabe como se diseñaron puede desde la información disponible configurarlas y para que se usan en un contexto corporativo o educativo... Lo peor de esto es que chamilo, como comunidad se resiste a explicar o desarrollar contenido que explique como y porque se configuran las herramientas (sin esto la aceptación de chamilo en instituciones será muy dificil porque requiere la contratación de especialistas en algo que ni siquiera esta probado o aceptado)
Reasons for Choosing Chamilo
Hoy en dia la unica razon por favorecer chamilo es económica, y aun así es muy débil puesto que solo tiene 6 proveedores y para modificar algo no hay suficiente gente familiarizada con el software para hacerlo y hay otras combinación de soluciones que pudieran ser eficientes. El nivel que más me interesa a mi, el de crear y experimentar con la creación de contenidos educativos y investigar su eficiencia, esta siendo consumido por el estallido comercial, y chamilo no está exento de esto. Quizás como plataforma Chamilo debiera aplicar fondos de la ayuda internacional, EU, ONU etc etc, para poder ofrecer un desarrollo que sea sustentable para todo el mundo y pueda darse gratuitamente... También podría considerar un modelo tipo WIKIPEDIA. La crítica mayor desde el punto de desarrollo de software es que solo Yannick es el que implementa, aprueba y decide en que dirección va la plataforma, y la visión y modelo. Yannick, si quieres que tu hijo vuele y dejar un legado en el e-learning, es tiempo que lo dejes ser libre y decidir si quieres abastecer al viejo sistema educativo (universidades y empresas y tus proveedores) que nos daran de comer por el futuro proximo sin duda, pero dejar volar a Chamilo que tiene el potencial si le sumaras flexibilidad visual, flexibilidad estructural y por sobre todas las cosas, que sea gratuito porque todo lo que se relaciona con la educación asi debe de ser...

Gracias Mariano por tu aportacion sobre tu experiencia con el software. Sin duda comaprtimos contigo que nos queda mucho por mejorar en el area de dise?o y esperamos cubrir parte de las necesidades de personalizacion con la version 2.0 de Chamilo. Sobre las herramientas y su uso, seguiremos aumentando el esfuerzo por publicar nuevos tutoriales y guias para hacer mas accesible a los usuarios las diferentes herramientas. Recordarte tambien que Chamilo cuenta con 6 proveedores oficiales pero existen un sinfin de empresas a mayores que prestan servicios por cuenta propia sobre chamilo tambien. Y finalmente indicar que no solo Yannick es la persona que implementa y decide sino un grupo de desarrolladores con a?os de experiencia y al que cualquiera que cumpla los requisitos de colaboracion y conocimiento del software puede unirse. Jose Angel, Julio, Ivan, Alex, Patrick o Laura entre otros muchos son algunos de los miembros de una comunidad de la que solo sobresale la punta del iceberg

Pros
Facilidad de implementación, facilidad de uso tanto para profesores como para estudiantes, adaptabilidad a distintos tipos de sistemas educativos, una función que he utilizado y me dio resultados fue la de poder traducir y crear propio idioma, herramienta con la que cambie en toda la plataforma la palabra curso por materia para realizar implementación en escuelas secundarias en Argentina.
Cons

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 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.

The best and most effective PHP e-learning platform
I really loved using chamilo when compared to other e-learning platforms

Cons
I had difficulty changing the template and there is no much tutorial on the web on doing so.

Mi experiencia con Chamilo.
Los cursos en línea han tenido una aceptación mucho mayor por la pandemia, dando por resultado más inscripciones en este tipo de cursos.
Pros
Lo que más me ha gusta es lo amable que es la plataforma y que se puede trabajar en los contenidos con facilidad no se necesita ser informático para comprender los pasos a seguir.
Cons
El problema es que en mi empresa no se ha actualizado y hay varias funciones que no tenía hace cinco años pero el informático dice que hay un problema con las claves pues los administradores iniciales no las dejaron.
Reasons for Choosing Chamilo
Cuando llegué a la compañía ya lo tenían en funcionamiento por lo cual no se la historia anterior.

Hola Lourdes. Muchas gracias por aportar tu experiencia con Chamilo. Para que no sucedan cosas como las que comentas (un admin que se va y no deja las claves y el portal se queda sin actualizar), siempre recomendamos contactar con proveedores de la red oficial de Chamilo, que esten certificados, ya que podran ofrecer una mayor grantia y se rigen por un codigo de buenas practicas que evita casos como el que comentas.

Friendly and reliable e-learning platform
We use chamilo to offer our researchers and teachers a place to create their learning courses, collaborative areas and support materials for very different uses. Right now we have over 30000 users enrolled.
Pros
The best thing of Chamilo is its usability. The great majority of our users require little or no support in setting their online courses and start using them. Both teachers and students. It has all the basic options you could expect from a flexible e-learning platform, regarding communication tools, authoring, testing, statistics...of course there are other platforms with far more options in each of these tools, but in my experience most users don't use them anyway.
Cons
It would be desirable to count on more plugins to integrate external tools.
Reasons for Choosing Chamilo
The three of them were born from original Claroline and we loved its philosophy, but relied in the team that is running Chamilo, which, besides, has local support in our country and region.

A quality opensource solution for the professional environment !
My role is to guide the heads of various professional structures from both the private and public sectors. I use Chamilo every day to inform about its high potential and its adaptability for important projects. It has a platform that is easy to use, quick to learn, very stable for projects with a large number of users, and surrounded by a network of very competent official service providers.
Pros
Once you understand how Chamilo is organized, it becomes easy and quick to work and learn how to use the platform, which offers a huge number of configurations to adapt to the different profiles of professional structures or not.
Cons
Chamilo is a solution developed by a large and very active community BUT does not receive any help for its development. The economic aid comes from the official network of service providers who guarantee the sustainability of the project.

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.

Software con buenas capacidades a nivel de formación
Chamilo nos ha proporcionado disponer de un entorno LMS de aprendizaje 24*7*365 para nuestros empleados. Estamos muy satisfechos con el uso que hasta ahora venimos haciendo del software y que nos ha permitido realizar de una manera sencilla procesos de formación para un elevado número de usuarios que están presentes incluso en diferentes países.
Pros
Este software de muy sencilla instalación y con gran ayuda por parte del equipo de soporte facilita una herramienta con diversas funcionalidades para establecer procesos formativos de diferentes niveles de complejidad. Su uso es muy intuitivo y sencillo tanto para profesores como para alumnos.

User friendly open source project
Chamilo is really easy to use as a student. As a teacher it is intuitive but very broad. You can create simple basic courses (text courses with multiple choice quizzes) or really advanced courses (conditional questions, wiki, assignments, group collaboration, forums, ...) It offers a huge set of features to organize students in classes, work with sessions (date based set of courses) or single courses. It fully pulls the card of open source and is thus invested in reaching out to open source solutions like Big Blue Button or OpenMeetings for webinar features. Support could be better - while you have a very active (Spanish but also English) community, response from the developers is limited and happens if you're lucky. If you pay for support (which is cheaper than the paid providers), you get premium service though. I guess it's not really fair to expect premium service on a free product.
Pros
It's open source - you can tweak the code if you are inclined to Its very easy user interface Its very friendly community The social features in the LMS
Cons
Cluttered code - it's a fork of a fork. They are working on this though. Huge (both in number of files as in size of download) Lack of English certification/training

Chamilo - the chameleon of possibilities...
Pros
Stable, mature, solid software. You can use it as a fully working LMS or just as a framework to create your own solution. Also the possibility for gamification or selling courses/sessions makes it even more attractive for running your own online academy. And with the skill wheel, talent management got easier.
Cons
Not really something at all. Free open sourcec software, and it is working :-)

Powerful and customizable LMS
We use it in the university to implement some distance study mats, it was installed and configured in a very simple way, besides it can be customized with the modules and extensions that are available in the repositories, excelenete manager of learning and virtual education.
Pros
It is one of the best platforms for the management of courses and online learning, has many functions for asynchronous communication with the student, in addition the interface is very attractive for teachers and students.
Cons
As it is a free software, in the face of any difficulty or error I have been able to recursis to the community that supports the project and I have found the solution, it is a great advantage to have that support, in addition they are constantly updating the version.

A true blue alternative for Moodle that is just so underrated ... Deserves better recognition
Pros
Well , I liked almost everything about Chamilo . 1) Open source and so completely free 2) Has an in built authoring tool that is so comprehensive that you will need to seriously plan your content before you start using its authoring tool . 3) Supports SCORM content 4) The look is minimal and yet with enough customisations to give a very elegant polished finish . Chailo is very easy to use and you will almost require no customisations . It works beautifully out of the box.
Cons
Although it supports SCORM content , some of the SCORM files I tried on Chamilo didn't work . That was the reason I had to move away . However , its internal authoring tool developed content functioned very smoothly.

A very clean and easy to use educative platform (compared to others...)
We set up our own installation of Chamilo and set up a virtual classroom for thousands of users. The experience was successful. We also had to fix some bugs that came with the platform.
Pros
Having used different platforms in the past, I can say Chamilo is very simple to use and understand by the end user.
Cons
At the team, we are not 100% happy with the architecture behind Chamilo. It's not easy to make modifications since the html code is distributed in hard to follow chunks all over the place. The fact that it's using an unsafe language like PHP doesn't make it easier.

We made it work as a Learning Management System for our client.
Free software, less features than Moodle, simple and easy.
Pros
Chamillo is a free learning management system that has can be used for medium sized businesses. Installation is easy as it comes in Softacoulous bundle available in any standard hosting.
Cons
This software has nice features, useful for businesses but still is geared towards academia. It has less features and is less customizable than Moodle- but our client wanted simple solution.

We used Chamillo as a learning management system for our client
Very short set up time for a quick e-learning project.
Pros
Perhaps it is important to mention our case: we needed not the "best" but "good enough" system for host a post-face-to-face training e-learning module and Chamillo just hit the bill. It is free, works almost out of the box and has a nice interface.
Cons
It's considered to be used in educational environments, so out of the box set up is typical for a school or university.

Sencillo y funcional, sin complicaciones
En general ha sido buena, sin problema alguno mientras tengas itinerarios armados clásicamente.
Pros
Es práctico y sencillo, lo que hace que la curva de aprendizaje sea muy corta. Una vez configurado, es raro que de algún problema.
Cons
Es un sistema muy rígido de e-learning clásico. Permite ciertas personalizaciones y es cierto que cada vez incluye nuevas funciones, pero excepto que integres herramientas externas, no permite mucha variedad de presentación de los contenidos.

Chamilo in UPA
A teacher used this software during my industrial engineering clases. most of the students liked the web and the functions.
Pros
1.- The open forums empowers students to share there opinion about important topics.
Cons
1.- Sometimes become slower when a lot of students are trying to upload their assignments.

Thanks for your review Luis Fernando. Please take into account that sometimes slowliness does not depend on the software but on the technical software used. That's why we always recommend to reach an official provider to deploy your Chamilo LMS solution. Thank you for taking time to evaluate us!

Best open source LMS
I have used it to complement face-to-face training and it is excellent, I recommend everyone to give it a try
Pros
It's open source so is free. It's easy to use and its interface is very intuitive. It supports SCORM. The support community is very big and helpful.
Cons
It is complicated to install and configure, and takes a lot of memory, but once you start using it it's worth the effort

Chamilo is good and free
Chamilo is a breeze, easier to set up and use than most FOSS and proprietary systems.
Pros
Free AND easy to use! Not common for a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
Cons
Not enough compatibility with third-party systems. (Mostly falls on third party's responsibility)
Reasons for Choosing Chamilo
Cost. Admittedly a larger project might require a different evaluation rubric.
Reasons for Switching to Chamilo
Cost, technical overhead, ease of use - training expenses

Great Improvement and Showing Better Quality Than Most Other Platforms
Overall, I found that Chamilo is not only simple to use but also has all the features that I need in order to create the courses and lessons for the students I am serving. The platform not only allows me to add the plugin within a few clicks but also upload files just like any other LMS (which is why I found that I don't always agree with everything that this website say about the LMS since I found that Chamilo has made a ton of changes for their new version).
Pros
the design, speed, effective and efficient, has all the features, and has all that I need
Cons
the software cost about more than 480 MB of memory

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.

The best open source LMS on the market
I started using Chamilo LMS as an alternative to other similar platforms, initially as a way to reduce costs due to a reduction of my operational budget; however before starting using it, people at my organisation began to comment that they liked Chamilo LMS more than the old platform. This fact was a trigger for me to start deploying all my e-learning solution based on Chamilo LMS due to its usability, computational resources optimisation, and its committed community. Pros Easy to use Easy to deploy All plug-ings and modules are part of the core and free to use It is SCORM compatible Committed community Truly open source Cons Lack of native mobile applications (work in progress)

Easy to use
Nowadays, for me, the key factor to choose a LMS is the simplicity, but without losing any functionality. In fact, Chamilo is very easy to use . When you access for first time in a Chamilo LMS, you have the impression to know a lot of things! All icons are well used. Today, we want to use a power web applications, with a lot of possibilities. But the most important thing for the user is to find what they search. And Chamilo is all this. If you've used another LMS, you know what I mean. In summary, with Chamilo you can do anything with the easy and the fast way.

Great for many use cases
Whether for corporate or academic users from 7 to 77, Chamilo is a great option, mostly thanks to its ease of use and great set of tools, allowing you to build, teach and give access to many kinds of courses. The community forum has answers to any kind of topic, and most people seem to just enjoy using the tool.
