In our Call for Papers we are looking for submissions on the following topics:
- E-Assessment – learnings & fails: In pandemic times, e-exams and open-book exams have been widely used. We are interested in what has worked well and where did you encounter problems? Which formats have become established? What about legal certainty and compliance, and what about the relationship of trust between examiners and examinees - think of "proctoring" for example?
- Hybrid teaching – hybrid training: We are looking for successful examples of the mix of face-to-face and online teaching - in schools and universities as well as in vocational and in-company training. How can face-to-face teaching be repositioned in the long term with the "digitalisation booster effect" of the pandemic?
- Empowerment in e-learning: What strategies do we have to strengthen our users' self-directed and self-organised use of ILIAS? How do we get learners and teachers out of their comfort zone? How must offers in ILIAS be didactically enriched for this? Which peer learning formats are successful?
- Network ILIAS – extend ILIAS: As a full-featured LMS, ILIAS can do a lot – but not everything. We are happy to receive examples of successful integration of third-party applications or the networking of ILIAS with other applications and platforms.
- Digital sovereignty in e-learning: The pandemic has given a big boost to the practical use of ILIAS and saved teaching and training operations at many universities, educational institutions and in companies. At the same time, great competition has emerged from proprietary cloud solutions. We are interested: Where are the advantages of open source tangible in practice? Where and how does it succeed in linking with proprietary software? How is sovereignty in e-learning lived in practice?

This Friday, 23 July, Stephan Rüping from Helmut Schmidt University and Uwe Kohnle from internetlehrer GmbH will be offering an online workshop on the topic of "LTI and ILIAS".
At the bilingual event (German/English), LTI maintainer Uwe Kohnle will first present the status quo of LTI in ILIAS and provide a look at the planned further developments. Afterwards, Colin Kiegel will present a case study from practice and show how learning portals from industry partners can be connected with LTI.
This is followed by a field report by Göran Kattenberg from the Netherlands, who explains cross-platform learning with the help of LTI and H5P. Finally, Bracken Mosbacker takes a look at the future of LTI. Mosbacker is the lead LTI engineer at the IMS Global Learning Consortium and is actively contributing to the development of the standard.
The workshop will be held via BigBlueButton. It will start at 1pm and end around 4pm. All information about the workshop and the registration email can be found in the following PDF.
