e-learning

In a growing world with growing education needs, one would think that systems like Chamilo or Moodle would have a continuous growth ensured, year after year. Well, this is certainly true for Chamilo LMS (for now), as it is apparently gaining about 100,000 new users per month (average over the last 12 months), but I am a little in shock at how Moodle is (since a year or so) loosing a considerable amount of sites and users over the last 12 months.

Today we release Chamilo 1.9.4, with a number of notable improvements in speed, usability and features, but you know... that's nothing compared to what we're preparing for version 1.10. We've got a pocket full of kryptonite ready to blow your eyes out this year, but let's focus on 1.9.4 for now.

At the beginning of December, BeezNest will be launching its new, low-cost cloud hosting service for Chamilo LMS 1.9.

Sir, I am a user of Chamilo 1.8 as my Website is : www.team**.in and i am having about 1300 users registered on that portal but i always face big problem with chamilo 1.8 that when i take test of all users on same day then it stops working. chamilo 1.8 is not able to handle online users more than 40, so i am facing big problem right now. Sir, i want to ask u that should i upgrade or use chamilo 2.1 so that i can handle up to 2000 users online at same time for better output. or please give me the solution for my problem . Waiting for your response! Regards M.K.

The written proceedings of the 2011's International Conference on e-Learning in Serbia caught my eye with an article called "HYBRID MODEL FOR E-LEARNING QUALITY EVALUATION" by Suzana Savić, Miomir Stanković and Goran Janaćković, not actually for the hybrid model (although it has its merits), but mainly for listing projects analysing different aspects of e-learning quality (resulting in evaluation models) actually available right now, which I want to list here for later reference:

• Supporting Excellence in E-L

There are many advantages of e-learning.

We are currently approaching the 1.9 release of Chamilo. In the inner circles, it will be called 1.9.0 as it will be followed by one or two other bugfix releases. During the past years, we started getting into details of 1.8.7.1, 1.8.8.4 etc. In my view, this was a bad decision.

There's been much talk over the last years about Chamilo 1 and 2, whether they were the same product, whether we were going to merge, etc. Last month's General Assembly of the Chamilo Association (which also made me the happy president of the association) helped us clarify a common line of conduct which, I am sure, most will appreciate. If you're in a hurry, you'd better move directly to the end of this article ("Conclusion"), because I want to drive you through the history of both projects now to give you a complete understanding of both pieces of software.
