ILIAS-Blog

Up to now, a learning module or a category page was always written and presented in one language - except you put texts in more than one language on a page. With 4.4 it will be possible to offer ILIAS learning modules and pages of categories, groups or courses in several languages and to present it according to the user's language setting or preference.

Due to several e-learning projects for educating and training mathematics, the request for connecting ILIAS with a Computer Algebra System (CAS) has increased in the past two years. Main advantage of such a connection would be the possibility to calculate test answers with mathematical equations and to check if the result is correct. ILIAS is only able to compare the given answer with a predefined result but cannot calculate it. After months of comparing and discussing possible solutions the Special Interest Group Mathe+ILIAS has made its decision.
