The Claroline team is happy to announce the creation of the Claroline Consortium. This international non-profit association was born on May, 23 during the ACCU 2007, at the initiative of 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
  

The main goals of the new Consortium are federating the Claroline community, coordinating the platform development and promoting its use.

The second edition of the Annual Conference of Claroline Users was a great success, thanks to all the Claroline users who came to Vigo to share their eLearning experience.

We would like to give a special thanks to the team from the Vigo University for their warm welcome, and to the participants for their active contribution!
