Kruse, Fabian [Fabian] - 28. Jul 2021, 16:21

The 20th ILIAS Conference will take place on 28 and 29 October 2021. Due to the pandemic, the ILIAS Conference 2021 will again be held as a virtual conference.
In our Call for Papers we are looking for submissions on the following topics:
In our Call for Papers we are looking for submissions on the following topics:
- E-Assessment – learnings & fails: In pandemic times, e-exams and open-book exams have been widely used. We are interested in what has worked well and where did you encounter problems? Which formats have become established? What about legal certainty and compliance, and what about the relationship of trust between examiners and examinees - think of "proctoring" for example?
- Hybrid teaching – hybrid training: We are looking for successful examples of the mix of face-to-face and online teaching - in schools and universities as well as in vocational and in-company training. How can face-to-face teaching be repositioned in the long term with the "digitalisation booster effect" of the pandemic?
- Empowerment in e-learning: What strategies do we have to strengthen our users' self-directed and self-organised use of ILIAS? How do we get learners and teachers out of their comfort zone? How must offers in ILIAS be didactically enriched for this? Which peer learning formats are successful?
- Network ILIAS – extend ILIAS: As a full-featured LMS, ILIAS can do a lot – but not everything. We are happy to receive examples of successful integration of third-party applications or the networking of ILIAS with other applications and platforms.
- Digital sovereignty in e-learning: The pandemic has given a big boost to the practical use of ILIAS and saved teaching and training operations at many universities, educational institutions and in companies. At the same time, great competition has emerged from proprietary cloud solutions. We are interested: Where are the advantages of open source tangible in practice? Where and how does it succeed in linking with proprietary software? How is sovereignty in e-learning lived in practice?
