Anyone can easily install Chamilo on a web server, create courses, upload content, subscribe users and get teaching. It offers dozens of options to create documents, tests, forums, learning paths, wikis, etc, from super basic to super advanced mode, but also to import content in SCORM, QTI, Aiken, AICC, Common Cartdrige or share activities in xAPI & LTI. Chamilo has demonstrated capabilities of up to 1M registered users on a single server instance, and we've got it up to 5,000 simultaneous users taking exams at the same time. Reliable, highly configurable and very lightweight.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Question options are Ace when they work. Reading question does not work as it spins and doesn't load or save. I do like that I can create several questions under multiple answers, by using the answer space on the left side only, to put in questions that are numbered, with the answer choices going below each question. I also add 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d to each answer as well, just to be sure it's not confusing for the student. This set up I use when the questions are for a reading comprehension problem. I put the story to read in the "enhance question" part instead of using their buggy Reading comprehension.

Cons

  • Timing out issue. Students and teachers both time out in using the product. You will time out creating questions and then lose all data on that specific question and have to start over. People who have a permission slip to take longer on that test can not use Chamilo period! Teachers can not use Chamilo to create more complicated tests. Anything requiring thinking, in order to create the test can not be done on Chamilo. Chamilo was designed to prevent all cheating and insist that even the admin is a cheater!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There are nice to have features of Workplace, mostly they can all be replicated on the open source version with the exception of the multi-tenancy and dynamic rules features.
  • It is open-source and free; any educational institute can make use of its services. The integration of plugins makes the software highly customizable. It has many assessment formats and can add multiple courses to assess students across different domains.
  • Moodle helps in managing and developing courses online. System based on plugins. Built whatever we want. Workshop plugin manages a peer assessment processes. Some of its main features are learning objectives, enhanced completion tracking, powerful analytics. Group activities are also available. Rich features software.
  • It's built on top of Moodle LMS by the same business that makes Moodle LMS. The new Theme and Course Format. Multi-tenancy, Organisation Structure, Programs and Certifications, Report Builder, Dynamic Rules
  • Open-source software - free of cost. Easy to deploy, fully customizable. User-friendly. One of the best content management system available.

Cons

  • Coming from an out-of-date Moodle version with a high degree of customizations, Moodle Workplace partner was not able to handle our load sufficiently and ran into a myriad of issues. We never even got out of onboarding phase to go to a live production site.
  • Not the best interface. It also has a steep learning curve, especially if you want to customize it to suit your needs. Lack of video conferencing facilities is a disappointment.
  • Full of engaging material and activities. Good software. Easy to use.
  • It is not as customisable as the Moodle standard LMS.
  • Requires high configuration servers for a large number of users.
