Teacher

Dokeos is a Learning and Knowledge Management System. It allows the teacher to organise learning materials, learning paths and to manage the interaction with his/her students. All this is made inside the web browser.

To use Chamilo as a teacher, you need a login and a password. Depending on the security settings of your portal, you an get these by self-registration (right hand menu) or from the central administration of your organisation. Note that a login and a password never contain spaces or acents and that they are case sensitive. Type your login/password, then create a course (top right) or use the course that has been created for you by the central administration of your organisation.

To add a colleague as co-administrator of your course:

1. If he/she is not yet registered in the system, register him/her and select 'Teacher' as a profile,
2. If he/she is already registered in the system, temporarily open course subscription in Course settings and ask him/her to enroll in your course. Then edit his/her profile and give him/her Teacher rights.

Every Chamilo tool contains a contextual help represented by a red buoy. If you don't find there the good information, consider checking the Chamilo documentation page: http://www.chamilo.org/documentation.php and download the teacher manual. in your own language or in English
