International ILIAS Blog

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.

In 'Community Stories: People, Projects, Practice', we take a look at the multifaceted ways in which ILIAS can be used in higher education, business and organisations; how both long-standing members of the ILIAS Community and new members of the society bring exciting perspectives to how they use and further develop the learning platform within their specific scenarios. We shine a light on inspiring stories and plans for the future, challenges and successes - from innovative teaching concepts to impressive projects that have been made possible thanks to ILIAS. From you, for you. The first entry (ok - second entry in the International Blog) is brought to you by Yvonne Seiler of the University of Bern.
