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.
