The Claroline Consortium is an international non-profit association that aims at organizing the promotion and the development of the Claroline platform at the technical and pedagogical level. It was born on May 23, 2007 during the second annual conference of Claroline users that was held at the Vigo University, Spain.

At the beginning, the Consortium brought together five founder institutions :

• Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium
• Haute Ecole Léonard de Vinci, Belgium
• Universidade de Vigo, Spain
• Université du Québec à Rimouski, Canada
• Universidad Católica del Norte, Chile

But today, these founders members have been joined by several other institutions which acquired the status of full member:

• Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France
• Université Blaise Pascal de Clermont-Ferrand, France
• Université de Montpellier, France
• AWT Agence Wallonne des Télécommunications, Belgium
• Université Jean Monnet de Saint-Etienne, France
• EMLYON Business School, France
• University of Columbia School of Law, USA
• Université Mohammed Premier d’Oujda, Morocco
• Haute  École Louvain en Hainaut, Belgium
• Centre de formation Formagraph, France

And the partnership process is still open today to every user – person or organization, from education world or companies world – interested in collaborating to the development and promotion of the Claroline platform.
