CLAROLINE.NET

The September issue (64) of the Linux magazine French edition reports in a 3 pages article an experience of a complete training in Computer Science using Claroline in the town of Tbilissi (Georgia). This training is set in partnership with the University of Versailles (France). The courses are partially provided to the Tblissi students by the way of the Claroline server hosted in Versailles.

Angela Büchler from Technische Universität Berlin has written an updated version of the Claroline student manual in German. Thanks to her.

The document is available on the documentation section of the Claroline Web site.

To keep the Claroline manuals and documentation up to date with the development pace of our developer community, the Claroline team has decided to move the documentation to a complete new section which can be feed by the Claroline users around the world. The site has started to be fed by Guillaume Lederer, Mathieu Laurent and Philippe Dekimpe from CERDECAM and is already quite impressive. See the new documentation site

If you are interested to translate the Claroline Documentation Web site to dutch , french , german , italian or spanish , send a mail to info@claroline.net.

" We tested Claroline during the first part of 2004. This platform allows teacher to create and administrate interactive support with less than one hour of training [...]. We have tested the platform on gynecology and obstetrics [...]. Other departements test today the e-campus with ease. This platform is also used by our midwives school. Our experience proves that we can put in place rapidly and with no cost a powerful and functional collaborative working platform in a medical training unit."
