ILIAS Conference 2022: Call for Papers

Kruse, Fabian [Fabian] - 11. Apr 2022, 22:07
The ILIAS Conference 2022 will take place as a face-to-face conference in Bologna, Italy. Venue is the FICO Congress Center. A call for papers is open until 15 May 2022. Topics of the 2022 conference are:
  • Back to the Future
  • Diversity Management - ILIAS for Everyone
  • Multipliers – Your ILIAS Needs You!
  • Wild Card – tell us about that thing you have always wanted to tell the community about! 

As every year, various formats are possible - from practical contributions to workshops and tutorials to demos of prototypes or finished products. Contributions with a duration of 30, 60 or 90 minutes can be submitted. In addition to German and English contributions, we are also happy to receive submissions in Italian!

Back to the future

The last two and a half years have seen a previously unimagined hype around digital work and education. A lot of this revolves around the concept of ‘New Work’, at the heart of which lie teaching and learning, which, thanks to this intense spotlight, also now have the opportunity to redefine themselves.

But how should the future of this new world of digital freedom and learning look? Which of the sometimes rather hasty approaches of the recent past should be developed further in the future, and which digital solutions have not proved effective?

How do businesses, organisations, schools and institutions of higher education solve the new challenges? How can we implement and combine compulsory learning, meaningful, work-oriented and life-phase oriented learning? And what role do digital sovereignty and security play?

Let’s spread fresh impulses when it comes to using ILIAS and new forms of learning and learning technologies. Show us your approaches and ideas, for example hybrid approaches, technical solutions and tools, and the use of media and didactic methods.

Diversity Management - ILIAS for Everyone

Diversity is opportunity: ‘Diversity’ is, along with ‘New Work’, the other big topic on everyone’s lips nowadays. What are the challenges facing teaching and learning, vocational training and further education when it comes to diversity? The same learning media are meant to address and appeal to a wide range of different user groups, and at the same time, barriers, prejudice and injustice should be eliminated, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience of using digital learning opportunities.

Diversity also means treating each individual’s education as just that – individual. This diversity needs to be structured and organised. We are therefore looking for ideas and reports of your experience on how ILIAS can be used for successful diversity management. Which approaches have you found, what is in development and what possibilities do you see in this area?

How-To.... Multipliers - Your ILIAS Needs You!

Everyone has had one of those epiphanies – you know the ones – they usually start with ‘Ahhh!’ and then proceed with a ‘that’s how that works!’ or ‘you can achieve A using B!’ or ‘so that’s what that is for!’

One of the strengths of ILIAS is the sheer amount of different things you can do with it. ILIAS can be used for a wide range of usage scenarios, is suitable for a whole variety of different types of users and training formats, and its look can be adapted to diverse design needs.

We are looking for simple solutions, cruelly-underestimated tools, clever usage misappropriations, little ‘helping hands’, tricks to show off with, ingenious effects: small effort – large effect, simple production processes, attractive teaching and learning scenarios or tips that every user of ILIAS just has to know about!

Become a multiplier and present your ideas and solutions to the ILIAS community. Explain how they work and how they can be used most effectively in the ‘How-To’ tutorials. Let’s see people leaving your ‘How-To’ tutorial thinking ‘if only I had known about that before!’

Wild Card

Here is your chance to tell us about that thing you have always wanted to tell the community about! Maybe a new, innovative tool? Or a prototype? A new/old trend? Or maybe just a really interesting research paper.

We look forward to seeing what you would like to submit in the category ‘Wild Card’ – whatever you topic is!

Submissions for all topics can be made here.
