Chamilo LMS: How to place learners at the center of training through learner centricity

As the main developer of Chamilo LMS, we are committed to supporting educational institutions and organizations as they adapt to the continuous evolution of technology and pedagogical methodologies. True to our values of open source, accessibility, and inclusion, we continuously improve Chamilo LMS to meet the growing demands of learner-centered education (Learner Centricity).

In our exchanges with users and the Chamilo association that manages the Chamilo user forum, a recurring question often arises:

Hello Chamilo, a quick question:

I was recently asked to highlight the differences between Moodle and Chamilo. From what I’ve observed, both LMS platforms seem to offer similar features through comparable modules.

What sets Chamilo apart from Moodle?

We wanted to share an amazing contribution from the University of Grenoble Alpes for Chamilo, integrated into version 1.11.8, directly related to students’ self-assessment during their university integration, particularly for prerequisite tests with certainty levels. In short, a new type of question added to the already extensive list available in Chamilo!

Optimizing your time with course sessions in Chamilo

Note: This article summarizes the presentation by Nicolas Ducoulombier, Project Manager at BeezNest, during ChamiloCamp ONLINE in October 2024.

Although the hype around MOOCs has faded a bit already, these Massively Open Online Courses are now part of the daily internet products or services you can invest in to make your professional or personal life better in the short, medium or even long term. But where some platforms like EdX clearly specialize in MOOCs, some people ask us whether Chamilo is ready for MOOCs.

In this article, we'll talk about managing an LMS when all institutional assignments handed in by students have to be handed in through the LMS, and what that means if you have several thousand students. This case is based on one of our customers which provides in-class English courses to about 55,000 students in a monthly cycle. The institution started working with us in 2012, so it's already been 5 years since we've started developing their custom Chamilo LMS setup.
