BRUSSELS, February 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Open source solutions provider BeezNest is proud to introduce the innovative features of Chamilo's social network, a first of its kind inside an open source learning management system. Users will now be able to link directly from inside the LMS to their LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter profile.
Functionalities include editing of a student's or teacher's profile, sending messages and invitations, and creating groups inside the portal. These features come in addition of the already existing chat and forums modules, making Chamilo a revolutionary and all-in-one solution for learning and communications.
These features highly facilitate communication between students and teachers, allowing them not to resort to traditional email. It also makes the learning environment more enjoyable and improves student retention, since many students have been logging onto the platform during the weekends.
"We have received very positive feedback from universities at this stage on the effect on student motivation, encouraging us to continue developing new social functionalities for Chamilo. We believe that it is essential to embed the learning process in more social and interactive ways." said Cedric Gerard, Business Development Manager at BeezNest. "We are also getting great feedback from users on the free campus http://campus.chamilo.org where an important number of users actually use Chamilo as their main social network to communicate with classmates."
Chamilo now supports several thousands of simultaneously connected users, making it the most user friendly and enjoyable open source learning platform available on the market.
With the recent addition of bigbluebutton.org 's video conference system inside Chamilo, Chamilo is looking to become the number one social and learning platform on the market.
