Summary

ILIAS is huge and offers a lot of functions that most people in most scenarios do not need. Additionally, many componenents have settings for everything. The test, for example, can show many different screens at its end that are partially redundant and have to be enabled in different sections of the settings. On many platforms WebDAV is deactivated and most people will never use "360° Surveys", "Learning Objectives-Driven Courses", "Personal and Shared Resource" and many other features. This is especially consequential in settings where stability, reliability, and predictability are front and centre, e.g. when running exams, but in a more general way, it decreases the security of the system for everyone by increasing its attack surface and the complexity of the code. Additionally, it also increases the cost of maintaining the system as more code means more work.
The University of Berne is facing an evaluation of its eLearning landscape and thus also the LMS and the role it plays in it. The sustainability, stability, reliability, and predicatability of the system will, obviously, play an important role in this evaluation. As we believe that the current state of ILIAS will put it in disadvantage in relation to other systems, we decided to evaluate, if we can find a way to improve this situation. In this presentation we would like to present the current state of the corresponding project.
