International ILIAS Blog

This article is, as you may have gathered from the title, about ILIAS at Learntec. I thought, however, that it might be interesting for you to get a personal perspective of this interesting annual event in the ILIAS calendar - a behind-the-scenes look, so to speak. This is my second year helping out at the ILIAS stand - which makes me a newbie, for ILIAS has been taking part in Karlsruhe's annual trade fair on the topic of education and learning since 1999! 

This year, the ILIAS community will be meeting on the 5th and 6th of June for our annual ILIAS Conference - this time in the heart of Berlin in the stylish Villa Elizabeth, a mere stone's throw from the main train station. It is hard to imagine a more central and beautiful location. This year, we will be presenting, learning and networking amid classical elegance and a green park.

ILIAS is an open source learning platform that is continuously being developed by an active community. The project is based on the contribution of ideas and requirements from real users.

Anyone can help plan and shape the software. Anyone who has an idea for a new function can suggest it directly - even without any prior technical knowledge.

In this how-to, we describe step by step how it works. By submitting a feature request, anyone can contribute to the further development of ILIAS.

Digital training is playing an increasingly important role - also in the area of medicine. But how does one go about efficiently organising online training for tens of thousands of participants? At the ärztlichen Akademie für Fort- und Weiterbildung in Nordrhein, deputy managing director Kathrin Hildebrand and her team rely on ILIAS. In this conversation, she tells us why the academy switched from Moodle to ILIAS, how they combine online and classroom formats, and what their plans for the future are.

This special tour is for all participants of the 24th International ILIAS Conference 2025.
