Key Topics of the 23nd ILIAS Conference
Learning Together in ILIAS - Chances and Challenges
Digital learning has numerous advantages such as flexibility and access to knowledge, but collaboration is also important and should be taken into account.
Learning Together in ILIAS
The education sector is characterised by constant change. Over the last couple of decades, digital learning has established itself as a core part of the education system. Digital education offers many advantages such as flexibility, the possibility of learning at individual speeds and the ability to access knowledge and resources from around the whole world. But one aspect of learning is often missing: learning together with other people.
In order to meet these requirements, it is important to utilise digital collaboration tools and strategies on the one hand, and to promote the necessary skills that enable the social aspect of teaching and learning on the other.
Which new or additional challenges have you noticed when it comes to teaching and learning? What competences and skills are needed in order to work together effectively in a digital learning setting? How can these be acquired?
Have you already discovered and implemented any approaches in the area of social learning? Which features of ILIAS that encourage/require digital collaboration do you already use? What feedback have you received, for example from your learning communities? Which usage scenarios form a part of your work? What role does mobile learning play? What about the desire and/or need for virtual collaboration, for example in virtual meeting rooms? Conceivable or fantasy - ILIAS goes VR/AR/XR?
We are excited to hear about your experiences, ideas and approaches!
ILIAS in Action: User Stories for the Community
How can ILIAS be made more user-friendly? This is about achievements - big or small - that want to be shared with the ILIAS community.
ILIAS in Action
Have you always wanted to share your experiences and your special solutions that make ILIAS even better? This is your opportunity to share your "aha" moments with the community!
How have you made your ILIAS more user friendly? Which innovative designs and templates have you developed to make ILIAS even more attractive? How do you make your ILIAS even more inclusive?
We are interested in your achievements - whether big or small - achievements that you want to share with the ILIAS community. With your submission, you will be playing your part in the continuing further development of ILIAS.
Innovative solutions and useful tips and tricks are often the result of the collaborative creativity of different minds. We are looking for multipliers who can share their ILIAS experiences and thereby enrich the whole community. Your experience, your tweaks could be exactly what someone else in the community is looking for!
Learning ILIAS
Onboarding new users in ILIAS is an indispensable building block. This is about concepts for teachers and learners on ILIAS with ILIAS.
Learning ILIAS
ILIAS, as we know and love it, is impressive with its wide range of functions, extensive individual design options and endless interfaces for connecting with other programmes. With such a wealth of functions, options, views and the overall "heftiness" of the installation, user onboarding becomes a really important building block for a successful ILIAS installation.
We are looking for your onboarding concepts for both learners and teachers in ILIAS, using ILIAS. Which concepts do you use to get your teachers and authors onto ILIAS? How do you get participants of short-term training courses to use ILIAS? How do you liaise with international participants and partner universities that use your installation? What do you require your ILIAS users to have in terms of knowledge and competences, and which are made available?
With a submission, you have the opportunity to present your own solutions and offer other conference participants inspiration for their own onboarding concepts.
Wild Card
