| From the Chamilo emailnewsletter (open source eLearning and collaboration software)…popular internationally and the one Gloria is working with…apparently growing quickly in users. Note the GlaxoSmithKline portal on smoking prevention…which is as Kris would say, informal learning, and a DLE. Some day we may wish to commit to a platform similar to Chamilo for actual DLE offerings. |

Last we heard from Gloria, she was on her way to Helena MT, to start a new marriage there, but also continuing to support Chamilo for her former position in Monterrey with the Courts there offering some coursework as part of a mediation process, if I understood correctly.
Although the headquarters of Chamilo appears to be in Belgium, there’s a big Hispanic component; popular in Hispanic or Latin countries for some reason.
Their claim to now having totally secure transmissions over the internet may be somewhat wishful thinking, however.
