kiosk mode for all ILIAS objects

1 Description

All ILIAS-Objects (Forum, Survey, etc.) should be accessible in a kiosk mode.

• Permanent Link, which opens ILIAS without the Personal Desktop, the Repository, etc. The user should have the feeling of accessing a single application.
• Kiosk mode for groups / courses: Groups and courses should be accessible also in a kiosk mode. It should be possible to navigate with the ILIAS-breadcrumb. But the root of the breadcrumb should be the course and not the ILIAS-Repository.

The kiosk mode for repository objects is realised as plugin using the extended user interface plugin slot.

4 Discussion

ELBA2 meeting: The Kiosk will be implemented as a "User Inteface" plugin. The plugin can replace user interface elements (e.g. the main menu). The Kiosk mode will simply remove the menu and other unwanted elements.

M. Kunkel, A. Killing, 1 Apr 2011: We confirm the necessary extension of the user interface plugin slot for 4.2.

5 Implementation

Implemented as plugin
