Chamilo LMS

The platform provides a self‑hostable learning management system that lets educators build a virtual campus for online or semi‑online training. It includes tools for course creation, content publishing, and e‑commerce catalogues, allowing administrators to import and export courses, manage calendars, announcements, and attendance, and integrate with external HR, SIS, ERP, and e‑commerce systems via an API.

Learners can access multimedia resources, submit assignments, participate in forums and live chat, and follow structured learning paths. The system supports quizzes with many question types, adaptive testing, and AI‑assisted creation, as well as plagiarism checking, grading, badge and certificate generation, and detailed analytics on progress and participation. Features such as multilingual support, GDPR compliance, two‑factor authentication, and role‑based permissions enhance accessibility and security.

The software is released under GPL‑3.0, is free of subscription fees, and has been used by tens of millions of users worldwide since 2010. It offers extensibility through plugins, standards‑compliant interoperability (SCORM, LTI, xAPI, etc.), and optional on‑premise deployment for institutions that require full control over their data.
