In time of COVID-19, we are (relatively obviously) inundated with calls and e-mails from people inquiring not only for Chamilo hosting (and other) services, but also for asynchronous communications for students and teachers alike.
Suffice to say that there are already several options to do that in Chamilo:
a global chat box allows you to chat with other users of the portal in a safe environment (particularly important for K-12)a course chat box allows all students of a course to chat with their teacher in a specific course contextthe existing incredible integration with the excellent Open Source videoconferencing software BigBlueButton from our good friends at Blindside Networks (which comes limited but integrated to our Chamilo Pro plan)
