ILIAS-Blog

If you install ILIAS 4.2 out of the box you have a small main menu for navigating in ILIAS. The menu items are Personal Desktop, Repository and - if you have the appropriate role - Administration. It is possible to rename Repository and to use a more convenient name like Content or Library. But a default ILIAS does not allow you to add additional menu items, e.g. for pointing directly on popular pages or important course offers. Now, the user interface plugin hook can overcome this obstacle and offer you the chance to create a main menu according to your needs - as you can see on the ILIAS homepage at www.ilias.de.

Since version 4.2 ILIAS offers the possibility to import and use didactic templates. The idea behind this concept is to ease the modification of an object's permission to adopt it to the need of a specific didactical scenario, e.g. a space within a course where course members can exchange files to collaborate. The ILIAS website template.ilias.de offers didactic templates for download and an introduction into writing didactical scenarios by your own.
