We would like to invite all ILIAS users, and all those who are interested in e-learning generally, to actively help shape the programme for the 23rd ILIAS Conference. Submit your programme contributions, your knowledge, know-how and expertise, and share it with your ILIAS colleagues and friends.

The slogan for this year's conference is "Hand in hand - growing together". 

We would like to encourage you to play an active part in the exchange of knowledge by sharing your experiences and insights with other participants, and learning from them in turn. The conference is also a great platform for networking, discussion and the joint development of new ideas. We want you to use the conference to shape the future, hand in hand.

Regardless of whether you are new to ILIAS or an experienced user, we look forward to every contribution that gets conversation going and helps contribute to the further development of ILIAS and its community. Help us create an inspiring conference!

Learning Together in ILIAS - Chances and Challenges

The education sector is characterised by constant change. Over the last couple of decades, digital learning has established itself as a core part of the education system. Digital education offers many advantages such as flexibility, the possibility of learning at individual speeds and the ability to access knowledge and resources from around the whole world. But one aspect of learning is often missing: learning together with other people.

In order to meet these requirements, it is important to utilise digital collaboration tools and strategies on the one hand, and to promote the necessary skills that enable the social aspect of teaching and learning on the other.

Which new or additional challenges have you noticed when it comes to teaching and learning? What competences and skills are needed in order to work together effectively in a digital learning setting? How can these be acquired?

Have you already discovered and implemented any approaches in the area of social learning? Which features of ILIAS that encourage/require digital collaboration do you already use? What feedback have you received, for example from your learning communities? Which usage scenarios form a part of your work? What role does mobile learning play? What about the desire and/or need for virtual collaboration, for example in virtual meeting rooms? Conceivable or fantasy - ILIAS goes VR/AR/XR?

We are excited to hear about your experiences, ideas and approaches!

ILIAS in Action: User Stories for the Community

Have you always wanted to share your experiences and your special solutions that make ILIAS even better? This is your opportunity to share your "aha" moments with the community!

How have you made your ILIAS more user friendly? Which innovative designs and templates have you developed to make ILIAS even more attractive? How do you make your ILIAS even more inclusive?

We are interested in your achievements - whether big or small - achievements that you want to share with the ILIAS community. With your submission, you will be playing your part in the continuing further development of ILIAS.

Innovative solutions and useful tips and tricks are often the result of the collaborative creativity of different minds. We are looking for multipliers who can share their ILIAS experiences and thereby enrich the whole community. Your experience, your tweaks could be exactly what someone else in the community is looking for!

Learning ILIAS

ILIAS, as we know and love it, is impressive with its wide range of functions, extensive individual design options and endless interfaces for connecting with other programmes. With such a wealth of functions, options, views and the overall "heftiness" of the installation, user onboarding becomes a really important building block for a successful ILIAS installation.

We are looking for your onboarding concepts for both learners and teachers in ILIAS, using ILIAS. Which concepts do you use to get your teachers and authors onto ILIAS? How do you get participants of short-term training courses to use ILIAS? How do you liaise with international participants and partner universities that use your installation? What do you require your ILIAS users to have in terms of knowledge and competences, and which are made available?

With a submission, you have the opportunity to present your own solutions and offer other conference participants inspiration for their own onboarding concepts.

Wildcard

The wildcard is a format in which you can present innovations, prototypes, new trends or research papers. This is the place for exciting developments and new ideas that will enrich the ILIAS landscape.

Maybe you would like to tell us about something that doesn't really fit into any of the other conference key topics? If so, the wildcard format is for you - it is your chance to share your ideas and innovations with the community.
