The challenges and successes on the path of ILIAS as an integrated part of the digitization strategy of the South Tyrolean provincial administration are shown - specifically using the example of the automated filing of participation confirmations in the digital personnel file.

The South Tyrolean regional administration (Autonomous Province of Bolzano) has been operating the learning portal www.copernicus.bz.it since 2004. With the update to ILIAS 6, new development steps were taken.

The demo provides an insight into ILIAS as part of the digitization strategy of the South Tyrolean provincial administration and, in particular, into the process of connecting ILIAS to the digital South Tyrolean citizen network via various interfaces. As a result, since the end of 2021 it has been possible, for example, to file participation confirmations for all employees in the provincial administration directly and immediately in their digital personnel files. The participation confirmations can now be retrieved digitally using the electronic identity card EIK (CIE in Italian), among other things, and remain there even if someone changes jobs, for example.

The demo presentation shows how mandatory instructions can be efficiently mapped with the ILIAS study program.

For companies, the first challenge in organizing in-house training is often the regular implementation, monitoring and verification of mandatory training. Paper and pen or Excel can help, but the overview is quickly lost as the number of employees grows and new mandatory training courses are added. Invitations, registrations and documentation on paper mean a great deal of organizational effort. Can digitization of the process help here?

LVM Versicherung from Münster can answer this question in the affirmative. Through the introduction of the ILIAS-based system cate together with CaT Concepts and Training GmbH and the use of the ILIAS study program, the effort for mandatory instructions could be reduced to a minimum in a short time. Employees are reminded by the system cyclically by mail to complete or renew their mandatory training. The results are documented in a digital education biography for employees and managers.

This not only pleases the organizers and those responsible, but also the learners, who are presented with the necessary information in an appealing interface.

Do you operate several ILIAS platforms at your institution or in your cooperation network and have always wanted to send users, courses and other learning resources from one ILIAS or Moodle to another? But you didn't know how? Don't worry, ILIAS 8 and higher will help you!

ILIAS has long offered the possibility to share content such as courses, learning modules and tests between platforms with the help of ECS. However, there have been some limiting factors that have made the use of this coupling method difficult or not effective - especially when two platforms within the same institution or within a trusting federation of platforms should be connected. A fundamental problem was that, until now, when users were transferred via the ECS, local user accounts were always created on the target platform. Access to the shared resources was thus only ever possible via a detour through the user's own platform; the account on the target platform received no e-mails and came virtually out of nowhere. While this was problem-free or even the desired behavior for many scenarios, it was at the same time a major stumbling block in other contexts, not least due to the emergence of authentication methods such as Shibboleth or OpenID Connect. Especially in a mesh of different interconnected platforms, the many independent local accounts posed a major problem.

The ECS connector in ILIAS has now been extended to allow transparent passing of user identities between connected platforms - users thus have the same identity on both platforms even after passing on via ECS and can also log in to both platforms. This article shows which possibilities the ECS connector offers and discusses them with different coupling scenarios from the EPICUR network, the Eucor network and within the University of Freiburg.

Im Workshop wollen wir auf Grundlage des DigikoS-Grundkonzepts gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmenden folgender Frage in einem kollegialen Austausch nachgehen: Wie lässt sich mit dem Einsatz von ILIAS ein hybrides, flexibles und skalierbares Ausbildungsbildungskonzept für auf das Selbststudium spezialisierte studentische Mitarbeiter*innen (Digital Learning Scouts) realisieren?

Bei dem Workshop handelt es sich um einen Projekt-Workshop, der sich auf das Verbundprojekt „Digitalbaukasten für kompetenzorientiertes Selbststudium“ (DigikoS) bezieht. Ziel des Verbundprojekts ist es, sowohl Lehrende bei der Förderung von studentischen Selbstlernkompetenzen zu unterstützen als auch Studierende bei der Umsetzung ihres Selbststudiums zu begleiten. Zur Erreichung der Projektziele sollen Studierende zu Digital learning Scouts (DLS) ausgebildet werden, um in einer Brückenfunktion die vorgenannten Aufgaben zu übernehemen.

Bei der Konzeption des Ausbildungsprogramms ergeben sich in Bezug auf die Organisation und Inhalte vielfältige Herausforderungen. Zum einen studieren die potentiellen DLS an unterschiedlichen Hochschulstandorten, in verschiedenen Studiengängen sowie mit ganz unterschiedlichen Studienmodellen und -zeiten. Zum anderen ist das Anwendungsfeld Selbststudium so vielfältig, dass das Ausbildungsprogramm flexibel zu gestalten ist. Um den räumlichen, zeitlichen und inhaltlichen Herausforderungen zu begegnen, bietet sich ein über ILIAS abgebildetes hybrides und (überwiegend) asynchrones Ausbildungskonzept an.

Konkret möchten wir im Workshop mittels kurzer Inputs zur Rolle der DLS, der Ausbildungsorganisation und den Ausbildungsinhalten sowie anschließender Gruppenarbeiten Diskussionen anregen und Ideen entwickeln, wie sich ein solch komplexes Ausbildungsprogramm über ILIAS realisieren lässt.

Der Workshop stellt die thematische Vertiefung eines Teilaspekts des Digikos-Projekts dar und ist nicht redundant zum Beitrag "Erfolgreich Studieren – Konzepte und geplante Werkzeuge zur Unterstützung des kompetenzorientierten Selbststudiums: Vorstellung des Projekts DigikoS" zu verstehen.

Practical Application Review von Ilario Truppa, OC Open Consulting s.r.l.

ILIAS is an extremely flexible LMS platform that can be adapted to the needs of companies and universities. However, for newbies it could be complex or even disorienting.

The aim of this presentation is to provide an overview of ILIAS explained in a "simple way" and, together with you and your questions, understand the main settings and build a course using ILIAS LMS internal authoring.

ILIAS è una piattaforma LMS estremamente flessibile e adattabile alle necessità di aziende ed università. Tuttavia per i neofiti potrebbe risultare articolata o addirittura complessa.

L'obiettivo di questa presentazione è quello di fornire una panoramica di ILIAS spiegata in "modo semplice" e, insieme a voi ed alle vostre domande capire le principali impostazioni e costruire un corso utilizzando l'authoring interno di ILIAS LMS.

Practical Application Review by Ilario Truppa, OC Open Consulting s.r.l.

Il progetto ILIAS Marketplace ha come obiettivo offrire la possibilità al management aziendale, di acquistare dei corsi off-the-shelf, forniti dai migliori cataloghi online e renderli accessibili agli utenti all’interno della piattaforma eLearning ILIAS, tenendo al contempo in sicurezza i dati dei fruitori (GDPR Compliant).

I punti principali di questo progetto sono:

1. Avere direttemente in ILIAS un servizio on-demand di acquisto di Corsi già pronti all’uso, acquistandoli dai migliori cataloghi online;
2. Risolvere il problema delle aziende utilizzatrici di ILIAS di dover acquistare i Corsi da importare, spesso ad un prezzo eccessivo rispetto al numero di utenti che fruiranno di quel Corso. In “ILIAS Marketplace” sarà possibile acquistare un numero di licenze adatto agli utenti da formare;
3. Risolvere il problema della “perdita di controllo” da parte dei fornitori dei Corsi off-the-shelf che, una volta consegnati ai Clienti, possono essere utilizzati e/o caricati in piattaforme diverse da quella concordate. I contenuti dei fornitori resteranno infatti sulle rispettive piattaforme, garantendone la proprietà e l’aggiornamento;
4. Rispettare i dati personali degli utenti (spesso dipendenti delle aziende) perché i loro dati verranno salvati e conservati solo in ILIAS, poiché il fornitore dei corsi riceverà solo dati come il numero di licenze e delle stringhe alfanumeriche per differenziare gli utenti.

Tutorial von Dorthe Hutz-Nierhoff & Rob Falkenstein, Universität Freiburg

With this tutorial we would like to help participants design a gamified self-study scenario in ILIAS, using gamification elements such as “unlockable content” and badges awarded at different levels.

It is known from a variety of empirical studies on the impact of gamification on learning and instruction that the use of game-based elements has several major gainful effects. Among these are, for instance, an increase in student motivation and engagement as well as improved orientation in the learning process.

With these potentially gainful effects in mind, several game-based elements were integrated into the learning design of “PerForm – Bioeconomy and Society”, a SPOC (small private online course) with a guided microlearning approach piloted by the EPICUR European University Alliance.

Implementing the concept of progressive unlocking of “learning nuggets” as well as awarding badges at different levels in ILIAS requires knowledge and skills of mechanics tied to functions such as learning progress, availability, badges and the ILIAS page editor.

In this How to?! session participants will learn how to practically apply these mechanics on the basis of a pre-designed example taken from the setting described above. Practical tips for an advanced use of the page editor to clearly design and present learning nuggets (e.g. “manual” tiles, column layout, embedded item groups) will be provided as needed.

Practical Application Review by Caterina Castellani, APPLIED s.r.l.

This presentation shows and tells an integration between ILIAS and SAP Success Factors (or other talent management systems).

Within the digital transformation services provided by Applied towards significant companies and cross industries companies which are users of ILIAS LMS, we recognized an urgent need within the accounting management activities of the platform and affected by the following context of reference and major drivers:

• Covid-19 effects on companies’ business process management
• Needs of reskilling and upskilling due to digital transformation
• Increasing use of remote learning for a more and more extensive audience.

The above macro trends let Human Resources and Education departments dealing with new types and needs of works:

• The new management activities due to the adoption of ILIAS LMS
• Need for cross platform reporting between ILIAS LMS datas and talent management systems (as pe SAP Success Factors)
• Need to enroll a significant number of users in e-learning courses and to report learning progress results in the talent management

As for the understanding of the above, Applied entirely developed an accounting system designed for the efficiency of activities performed by the administrators or tutors of ILIAS LMS. This accounting system is merely a middleware which can be customized accordingly to talent management systems adopted by the companies. The major functionalities allowed by the Applied Bridge are:

• Automatic synchronization of personal master data concerning the users who are required to attend ILIAS LM courses
• Automatic registration of participants in ILIAS LMS contents through the upload of files generated by the talent management system
• Automatic export of learning progress through format files ready to directly upload in the talent management system
• Creation of several roles with different permissions accordingly to operating flow chosen by the company (pe: a group HR department as general administrator with visibility on the total range of ILIAS contents and users list; HR manager of local subsidiaries as local administrator with limited visibility on ILIAS contents and users list)
• Time validity settings of courses activation
• Update of subscriptions features
• Users list view per content presented in ILIAS LMS
• User details view customized as for company’s needs.

Finally, the Applied bridge is applicable to both public and private institutions, and we would be honoured to join ILIAS Conference presenting our paper through a practice case experience based on a “show & tell” approach.

Practical Application Review by Martina Solimini, IMA

Demonstrate the ability to create draft training content automatically from a product BOM.

IMA is an international company specializing in the production of automatic machines for packaging pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, tobacco, tea and coffee. The machines have a logical and physical structure, called a bill of materials, which is defined at the design stage and used for production and maintenance. The machines that IMA designs and assembles almost handcrafted for its customers involve a complexity of process, operation, and maintenance that can only be shared with end users with appropriate field training.

How do you enable IMA to transmit its know-how to clients? How do you digitize a process that can no longer be supported by paper and unstructured material? How do you synchronize this flow with machine delivery? In my talk, I will discuss how IMA has developed a process for producing and sharing training with its customers, making the system central to automating content writing within the ILIAS platform, namely MIXER.

The Mixer, informally called a "blender," is a system that can communicate with ILIAS and semi-automatically compose courses according to certain structures that represent the storyboard. Composition is done by aggregating Media Pool objects previously stored by the editor within the LMS.

The aggregation logic is currently defined by the compilation of an xls file, in which the machine bill of materials or instruction manual structure is given, and each group is associated with a specific content. Our machines have a modular structure, that is, they are made up of functional groups that can be reused for subsequent productions. Consequently, why produce an already existing and reusable training content several times? Through the opportunity to associate a content with a functional group, it is possible to automatically aggregate training content based on the machine structure.

From this input, which is effectively the course storyboard, the Mixer is able to produce an xml analogous to the one packaged in ILIAS, which can be imported and synchronized with the content actually present in the LMS. The result is to have a course reduce the editing work by at least 70 percent.

Central to this process was the flexibility and scalability of ILIAS, as Open Source software, predisposed to co-working by multiple companies contributing to the development of an integrated system.

The tangible benefits are major time and cost savings in producing and updating content, with the ability to reuse information already produced in other enterprise systems. An even more ambitious goal will be to connect ILIAS directly to other enterprise software via the Mixer. In this way, starting from the bill of materials processed with design systems, transmitted and finalized in ERP and CMS systems, it will be possible in a semi-automatic way to package customized Training content to machine matrix.

This flow fits within a landscape that encompasses not only the production of content, but all the complexity of how to prepare it for our customers, who are faced with ever-increasing production needs due to the connectivity and industry requirements in which they operate.

In this talk, I will try to emphasize how this whole ecosystem came about, the integration between ILIAS and the Mixer, and the provision of content to clients.

Entwicklung eines niedrigschwelligen Lernangebots für die Zielgruppe des betrieblichen Ausbildungspersonals zur Förderung von digitalen und medienpädagogischen Kompetenzen.

Das Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung (BIBB) hat im Mai 2022 im Rahmen des Projekts Medien- und IT-Kompetenz für Ausbildungspersonal (MIKA) den MIKA-Campus veröffentlicht. Das Weiterbildungsangebot MIKA unterstützt das Ausbildungspersonal dabei, den Einsatz von digitalen Medien in der betrieblichen Ausbildung zu etablieren. Das vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) geförderte Projekt hat zum Ziel, betrieblichem Ausbildungspersonal durch angeleitete praxisnahe Übungen in Präsenzveranstaltungen, Webinaren und Selbstlernphasen (Blended Learning) zu ermöglichen, ihre digitalen und medienpädagogischen Kompetenzen zu erweitern.

Die vom BIBB entwickelte und ILIAS-basierte Lernplattform ist eine von drei Bausteinen des MIKA-Projekts:

(1) Der MIKA-Campus (www.mika.foraus.de) als Lernplattform zur Aneignung medienpädagogischer Grundlagen,

(2) die MIKA-Seminare als ein niedrigschwelliges Weiterbildungsangebot für betriebliches Ausbildungspersonal im Blended-Learning-Format sowie

(3) ein Train-the-Trainer-Konzept (MIKA-Trainer/-in), um bundesweit einen flächendeckenden Qualitätsstandard für die Durchführung des entwickelten MIKA-Konzepts zu gewährleisten.

Der MIKA-Campus ist ein zentraler Baustein, um die Teilnehmenden der MIKA-Seminare thematisch in die Präsenzveranstaltungen und Webinare einzuführen. Die virtuelle Moderatorin und Auszubildende Mika begleitet die Nutzer/-innen durch die Lernbausteine. Die Plattform des MIKA-Campus kooperiert gleichzeitig mit Bildungseinrichtungen, die MIKA-Seminare anbieten (bspw. Handwerkskammern, Industrie- und Handelskammern, Berufsbildungswerke). Der MIKA-Campus ist organisatorisch und technisch in das Ausbildungsportal www.foraus.de eingebunden. Darüber hinaus ist der MIKA-Campus mit Kooperationsplattformen von Bildungseinrichtungen, die MIKA-Seminare anbieten, über eine LTI-Schnittstelle vernetzt.

Im Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie die Organisationseinheiten und Positionen aus ILIAS genutzt werden können, um komplexe Genehmigungs- und Freigabeszenarien abzubilden.

Bildungsverantwortliche in Unternehmen stehen vor der Herausforderung, Genehmigungs- und Freigabeprozesse abzubilden, über die verschiedene Führungsebenen oder Mitbestimmungsgremien eingebunden werden müssen. Mit den “Organisationseinheiten” und “Positionen” bietet ILIAS hier Features, die auch komplexen Szenarien gerecht werden.

Die DEVK beteiligt Führungskräfte und Betriebsräte an der Beantragung und Freigabe von Buchungen. Eingesetzt wird das auf ILIAS basierende System cate der CaT Concepts and Training GmbH, das in der Pro-Variante auf die Anforderungen großer und dezentraler Unternehmen ausgerichtet ist.

Die in ILIAS vorhandenen Möglichkeiten der Organisationseinheiten und Positionen werden dazu mit Organisationsdaten der DEVK zu einem einfach zu bedienenden Vorgang verschmolzen. Die Mitbestimmungs- und Informationsrechte der Betriebsräte und die Führungsaufgaben der Vorgesetzten können so umfassend berücksichtigt werden. Die Abbildung aller Bildungsaktivitäten in einem System gelingt auch für externe oder mitbestimmungspflichtige Angebote.

In this demo presentation we will show the practical contribution of Artificial Intelligence to ILIAS. And how ILIAS can transform into ILAIS: Intelligent Learning AI System

Artificial Intelligence is a buzzword on everybody's agenda nowadays. Yet it is a concept from the 50's and 60's introduced by Martin Minsky, Seymour Papert and John McCarthy. He was a mathematician, trying to figure out the human brain. Hence the concept of Artificial Intelligence and how it could be put into practice. E.g. via Perceptrons, which is now called Machine Learning via Nearal Networks. Computers are much more powerful 70 years later and AI becomes a useful tool. I met Marvin Minsky once at a conference of the American Educational Research Association in Chicago. It inspired me to dedicate my own work and research to the constructive added value of computing to education and educational research. I used it for gathering data, analyzing data and creating diagnostic and remediating tools for learning. In the meantime all kinds of educational tools and technologies have been developed such as ILIAS. A system for Information sharing, Learning and Collaboration. an LMS or Learning Management System. Including a Learning Content Management System which is a very strong feature of the ILIAS system and in my opinion a Unique Selling Point. Not every Learning Management System has a multi-language repository and built-in content and knowledge creation tools. A fine-grained asset management included, also support multiple language and a document management system that supports versioning. And also support for metadata and taxonomy.

The issue here is that creating and managing the knowledge repository or central core of truth for an organization can be become a very cumbersome, A process called content curation. Multiple languages, multiple versions, multiple assets, multiple audiences, multiple skill levels. personalization, recommendations based on individual progress and analytics. These are all promises made through the recent addition of new technologies and standards to ILIAS such as Experience API, CMI-5, Competency Frameworks. Also, new technologies are on the horizon and gradually added to ILIAS, such as H5P for interactive content, Integration with other systems that allow e.g. Blockchain exchange of learning data towards and from the European Skills and Competency Framework ESCO.

However, the actual content curation process and knowledge capture process is still very much a manual process. In this Demo presentation i will show how Artificial Intelligence can help here and allow for bulk knowledge creation from legacy sources such as documents, ,presentations, videos capture such as lectures and other video content directly in to the repository. But now in a "smart" way that allows for adding concept metadata and taxonomy, versioning, and asset creation such as automated creation of questions that can be reused in ILIAS towards tests and assessment. It is of the utmost importance that the questions are of a high quality standard within the specific knowledge domain and also contain appropriate distractors. These questions and other interactions can be used and reused both for informal and formal pujrposes and can also be used to provide competency pretests and post-tests to support useful learning analytics.

Current Artificial Intelligence technology allows for extracting relevant concepts and topics in a multidimensional concept space (768 dimensions in the most recent versions of AGI). From legacy content these concepts can be extracted and including in "smart" content. Content becomes a dynamic knowledge resource that can be repurposed towards various delivery mechanisms and formats. Also it can be used for translation into multiple languages retaining the original conceptual quality of the source language and with the ability to regenerated updated content and knowledge. Also, AI allows for generating voiceovers or podcasts in a very high quality. Or, it is can be used to leverage the repository to performance support use cases such as using Voice interfaces (Alexa a.s.o).

The article shows interactive 3D/VR learning modules in which the learner has to perform various tasks. As part of the fulfilment of various tasks, task-specific learning levels are achieved, which can be easily saved in ILIAS via the SCORM interface. The SCORM learning module is passed by solving all or a specific combination of tasks by the learner from the 3D/VR environment.

Learning real physical actions, procedures and hand movements is regularly a fundamental and important learning objective. In eLearning, a 3D/VR learning environment therefore provides a valuable complementary learning experience because it can effectively improve the learner's action-related competence compared to conventional learning modules.

Once a 3D/VR SCORM learning module has been created (e.g. with Unity or Aframe), the interface transfers the learning statuses reliably and persistently. The interface works with a ScormLibrary, which considerably facilitates communication between the learning module and ILIAS.

The article presents useful application scenarios and practical examples and discusses functional and organisational challenges that need to be overcome in a 3D VR learning environment.

Tutorial von Alexandra Tödt, LEIFOS GmbH

This demo conveys different uses of the revamped mediacast.

For ILIAS 8 the Mediacast was completely revamped. It has new presentations for video, audio and images. These new controls are more usable and attractive, allow for creating appealing videocasts, podcasts and images. These controls became part of the ILIAS Kitchensink.

Participants get to work with the new presentation modes of the revamped mediacast: podcasts, videocast, images in light boxes. We will look at examples and participants individually and jointly prepare mediacasts. Participants get to add different media types, adding preview pictures, make settings.

We will understand how mediacasts from former ILIAS versions will behave under the new presentation modes. Participants get to know how a low threshold collaborative scenario for mediacasts can be devised involving mobile phone video capture. Participants get to devise simple scenarios using the learning progress for the video casts.

Tutorial von Marko Glaubitz, Universität Freiburg

Demonstration der Bereistellung von Kursvorlagen unter Nutzung von lokalen Rollen und automatischer Rollenzuweisung.

Kursvorlagen sind ein viel diskutiertes Thema und ein Beliebtes Werkzeug um noch unerfahrenen Nutzer*innen die Bereitstellung von ansprechend gestalteten und potentiell durchaus komplex strukturierten Kursen zu ermöglichen. Lehrenden werden dabei verschiedene "skeletthafte" Kurse zur Verfügung gestellt, die zum freien Nutzen, Anpassen und Weiterentwickeln bereitstehen.

Dieser Beitrag diskutiert kurz das aktuelle Bündel an Kursvorlagen und deren Einsatzszenarien und demonstriert, wie diese Kursvorlagen an der Universität Freiburg bereitgestellt und verfügbar gemacht werden. Insbesondere wird dargestellt, wie dabei zwar ermöglicht wird, dass die Lehrenden solche Kursvorlagen einsehen und kopieren können, jedoch die Kopien wieder als ganz normale Kurse mit ganz normalen Berechtigungen entstehen. Dabei kommen lediglich Bordmittel des ILIAS-Kerns zum Einsatz.

Des weiteren wird kurz auf die Limitationen solcher Vorlagen im Lichte des aktuellen Implemenationsstandes von ILIAS eingegangen.

Prototype and Product Close-Up by Ingo Jackisch, Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg (DHBW)

I would like to show the possibilities of the new ILIAS feature for role-specific starting points.

Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg uses ILIAS (among other things) in the context of study preparation. In this context, the Dashboard (fka Personal Desktop) is not always the best choice as a starting point. Apart from the Favourites and the Recommended Content, there are only a few design options for placing information directly on the desk. It is difficult to make clear from the first use which of the objects on the desk contain the most important first elements.

With ILIAS 7 there is now the possibility to assign different starting points to the holders of global roles. In our case, we use this to assign users a customised "starting course", which is displayed directly after login. Here, the respective supervisors can place target group-oriented offers and reduce barriers to entry through a suitable course design.

In our scenario, the users come from several study academies and receive a locally adapted course. However, it is also conceivable to offer start-up courses specific to a faculty or degree programme, or even illustrations of corporate organisations. The approach can also be used to break down barriers.

The current implementation in our ILIAS platform and the experiences gained up to the conference will be presented. In addition, the idea of giving users the choice of switching to the desk as a starting point will be presented.

Practical Application Review by Mariana Robson, Intelliboard Inc.

Show organizational and educational approaches in the access of ILIAS data that expands the application of actionable insights.

Institutions such as corporations and universities/colleges need advanced data insights. Corporate training departments specializing in “high stakes” training (health and safety regulations, for-profit training courses, onboarding, or client training) need access to data that will directly and indirectly impact ROI. Colleges and universities need access to data that will impact retention, course, instructor, and student success. These data points can come from a wide variety of sources: the learning management system (LMS), individual tools used within a particular LMS platform, or even spreadsheets with data managed by specific individuals. IntelliBoard addresses the primary success factors for corporatations and institutions with access to data and resulting actions/responses to that data, also known as actionable data. Actionable data can be predictive: Integrating with leading-edge machine learning to analyze historical ILIAS data and predict future learning outcomes.

Prototype and Product Close-Up by Lyubomir Bistrekov, NATO DEEP eAcademy

To familiarize the conference participants with the Iraqi eLearning Portal (IeLP) as unique solution – LMS ILIAS fully operational in Arabic. Also sharing lessons learned from the ADL capacity building programme for the Iraqi Higher Military Education System (HMES) conducted by NATO Mission Iraq and NATO DEEP eAcademy.

NATO Mission Iraq (NMI) and NATO DEEP eAcademy have been working together to produce a viable solution to allow the Iraqis to access e-learning content. As the result, the customization process of the Iraqi e-Learning Portal (IeLP) was conducted. The interface in Arabic is fully available.

A unique solution was introduced, based on LMS ILIAS 7.2 framework. The point is, that this platform does not fully support the Arabic version and when switching to this language (Right to Left Language – RTL), it mirrors the entire platform. On the other hand – using the Arabic version only is not a problem but maintaining/ operating the multilingual LMS ILIAS option is demanding and requires the implementation of dedicated solutions.

• Firstly – separate the Arabic and English versions from each other on the platform. As a result, two autonomous areas are kept.
• Secondly – create and attribute dedicated roles and authorization groups for users using different language versions.
• Thirdly – prepare mirror images for graphics in the Arabic version.
• Fourthly – create a separate login screen for the Arabic version.

Since the standard language package within LMS ILIAS offers only about 50% of translated phrases in Arabic, during the customization process, the remaining language portion was also translated.
The IeLP is at full operating capacity and Iraqis are beginning to access it for learning.

There have been two major areas that the Iraqis have started to use the Portal: (1) NMI assisted the Iraqi Defence University with the running of an Executive Leadership Workshop held at the end of January. This has included an e-package containing pre and further reading which, when combined with the content from the lectures, had given the participants the required knowledge to successfully answer the questions in the syndicate discussions. The participants from this course were Brigadier General and above and had been introduced to what e-learning can achieve. (2) A new NCO Leadership course has been developed between NMI and the instructors from the Elite NCO School. A dedicated page has been set up which contains the contents of the lessons and further notes. This will allow both the instructors and students access to reading material, PowerPoints, and lesson plans to help them prepare for upcoming lessons.

On the 19th of January 2022, during an official meeting between the NMI leadership and General Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah, the Chief of Staff of the Iraqi Armed Forces was very positive about IeLP. He expressed the will to benefit from it at all military institutes and beyond. The meeting dealt with a discussion concerning the progress of the projects submitted by the NMI that aim to raise the capabilities of the Iraqi Armed Forces, and options for developing the Mission’s level of work in the country.

Wir möchten den Prototypen des EDUTIEK-Plugins "LongEssayAssessment" und seine Funktionsweise demonstrieren, Feedback aus einer sponanen Erprobung einholen, sowie aus den Erfahrungen mit bisherigen Lösungen für Textklausuren neue Anregungen für die weitere Entwicklung aufnehmen.

Das Projekt EDUTIEK (Akronym für „Einfache Durchführung textintensiver E-Klausuren“) entwickelt eine umfassende Softwarelösung für Online-Klausuren in Fächern, in denen längere Texte als Klausurlösung abgeben werden müssen. Hierzu gehören Jura, Geschichtswissenschaften, Sprachwissenschaften, Philosophie, Soziologie und vieles andere mehr.

Solche Klausuren erstecken sich oft über mehrere Stunden und die Abgaben müssen prüferseitig aufwendig begutachtet werden. So ist etwa in der Rechtswissenschaft eine spezifische Fallbearbeitungsmethodik durch Prüflinge anzuwenden und die Abgabe muss bei der Korrektur auf vorhandene und korrekte Argumente, Verweise oder Bestandteile überprüft werden. Diese Anforderungen werden von ILIAS derzeit nur ansatzweise unterstützt, etwa in der Übung durch externe Programme und Datei-Upload oder im Test durch die Freitextfrage mit einfachem Texteingabe- und Bewertungsfeld.

Die Lösung von EDUTIEK besteht aus drei Komponenten, die als ein Plugin zusammengefasst in ILIAS ohne zusätzliche Systemvoraussetzung installiert werden können:

1. Das „Long Essay Assessment“ ist ein Repository-Objekt und bündelt alle Funktionen zur Realisierung einer Textklausur. Über das Rechtesystem werden die Verantwortungen zur Aufgabenerstellung, Durchführung und Korrektur an verschiedene Personen vergeben. Für die Bearbeitung kann Hilfsmaterial bereitgestellt werden und die Korrektur wird mit einem Bewertungsschema unterstützt. Alle Ergebnisse lassen sich zur Dokumentation im PDF/A-Format ausgeben.
2. Der integrierte „Writer“ ist eine spezialisierte Bearbeitungsseite für die Prüflinge während der Klausur. Darin können der Texteditor und die Aufgabenstellung oder Zusatzmaterial nebeneinander oder ganzseitig dargestellt werden. Alle Bearbeitungsschritte werden protokolliert und sind reversibel. Auch bei Unterbrechungen des Netzwerks kann weitergeschrieben werden und die Speicherung der Bearbeitungsschritte wird anschließend nachgeholt. Nach Ende der Bearbeitungszeit wird der geschriebene Text zur Überprüfung dargestellt und seine Abgabe final bestätigt.
3. Der integrierte „Corrector“ ist eine spezialisierte Bearbeitungsseite für die Korrekturkräfte. Im abgegebenen Text werden Stellen markiert und mit Kommentaren versehen. Mit jedem Kommentar lassen sich anhand des Bewertungsschemas Teilpunkte vergeben. Text und Kommentare werden übersichtlich nebeneinander dargestellt, bei einer Zweitkorrektur optional auch mit den Kommentaren der Erstkorrektur. Zur Erstellung des Gesamtvotums wird aus der Summe der Teilpunkte ein Vorschlag für die finale Note berechnet, der übernommen oder geändert werden kann. Mit dem Votum kann eine textuelle Gesamtbeurteilung erstellt werden.

In dem Konferenzbeitrag wird ein kurzer Überblick über die Entwicklung gegeben und das Plugin live demonstriert. Die Teilnehmer/innen können dann in einer vorgegebenen Beispiel-Klausur mit dem Editor einen eigenen Text erstellen und gegenseitig mit Kommentaren korrigieren. Anschließend bleibt Raum für Feedback und Erfahrungsaustausch bezüglich der Realisierung von Textklausuren.

EDUTIEK wird von der Digitalen Hochschule NRW gefördert. Initiiert und geleitet wird das Projekt von der Universität Münster. Weitere Projektpartner sind die Universitäten Bochum und Bielefeld. Die technische Umsetzung erfolgt durch den ILIAS open source e-Learning e.V.

Tutorial von Christopher Könitz, Hochschule Wismar

I would like to show how to create micro-interactions with basic ILIAS-elements to create better learning experiences.

Why micro-interactions? Micro-interactions are small graphical elements that are helping to support the motivational design and are therefore preferable. Users get instant feedback for their actions and are motivated to interact with the learning content. So, these elements supporting learning goals and create an interactive user experience.

The reality in ILIAS : Most courses in ILIAS are static. If users are looking at a course, they just see files, tests-objects or static graphics for example. Some courses use the availability-feature to implement learning paths. But the interface is still static. As a result, the lacking of micro-interactions lowers the level of motivation because the learning interface keeps the same.

The Solution : To solve this problem, I’ve developed a more interactive and graphical approach with basic ILIAS-Elements to realize micro-interactions. So, users are more engaged for further learning-interactions. In my session I will explain the basic interaction concepts and show how to create two micro-interactions:

Both micro-interactions will be created and demonstrated live. I will also provide templates for download for an easy adaptation and implementation.

Tutorial von Monika Joussen & Britta Mertens, Hochschule für Polizei und öffentliche Verwaltung Nordrhein-Westfalen

Anhand eines konkreten Beispiels zeigen wir, wie wir mit einfachen "on Board" Mitteln über "Seite gestalten" einen eigenen Style anlegen und individualisieren. Wir sind ein Duo mit unterschiedlichen Expertisen. Monika Joussen legt den Schwerpunkt des Vortrages auf das "How to" im Bereich Seite gestalten und Britta Mertens bringt ihre Erfahrung im Bereich Bild & Video ein.

Nicht nur die Funktion "Seite gestalten" wurde in älteren ILIAS Versionen stiefmütterlich behandelt, sondern auch unsere ILIAS-Kategorie für die HSPV-weit ausleihbaren Videorücksäcke und Tontaschen.

Mit unserem Update auf ILIAS 7 und den neuen Möglichkeiten des Seiteneditors stürzten wir uns ins Abenteuer und ließen eine Kategorie aufblühen.

In unserem Beitrag gehen wir auf die unterschiedlichen Prozessstufen einer Seitengestaltung ein, berichten von unseren gemachten Learnings sowie den "Dos & Don'ts" bei der Gestaltung einer Seite. Wir zeigen Ihnen, wie Sie geschickt das Rechtesystem nutzen können, um ILIAS Objekte in einem anderen Kontext einsetzen zu können.

Prozesse im Zuge der Neugestaltung der Video- und Tontaschen-Kategorie waren die Überarbeitung der zur Verfügung gestellten Materialien, die Produktion von Videotutorials zur Nutzung des Equipments sowie die Seitengestaltung der Kategorie. In unserem Beitrag geben wir Ihnen gerne einen Blick hinter den Kulissen der Prozesse.

Wir nehmen Sie mit auf eine spannende Reise vom hässlichen Entlein zur strukturierten, übersichtlichen und ansprechenden Schönheit.

Nach dem Motto „KitchenWhat? - Wir kochen auch nur mit Wasser!“ zeigen wir Ihnen, dass auch Sie ohne jegliche Vorkenntnisse oder praktische Programmiererfahrung eine solche Verwandlung schaffen können.

Tutorial von Karim Sayed, Fortbildungsakademie des Ministeriums des Innern des Landes NRW und Enrico Zenzen, leifos GmbH

Die Vision: ILIAS soll sexy und gleichzeitig vielseitig nutzbar sein – und das für jeden und jede unter der Berücksichtigung der Barrierefreiheit. Mit attraktiven Inhalten und einer klaren Struktur will das E-Learning-Team der FAH Mont Cenis ILIAS als Corporate Learning Plattform des Landes NRW etablieren. Lehrende und Lerner sollen auch jenseits des Seminargeschehens über ILIAS miteinander kommunizieren, sich in Communitys austauschen und gemeinsam Lernen.

Die Umsetzung: Nach dem Update auf ILIAS 7 musste zunächst die Struktur der ILIAS-Installation neu durchdacht und umgesetzt werden. Hinsichtlich der Barrierefreiheit wurde eine möglichst flache Hauptmenüstruktur erstellt.
Zusätzlich wurde im Rahmen des Updates sowohl das Design der Plattform als auch des Contents überarbeitet, sodass die Lernangebote attraktiv, barrierearm sind und der neuen CI der Fortbildungsakademie entsprechen.

Im Rahmen des Vortrags möchten wir die folgenden Leitfragen behandeln und freuen uns im Nachgang auf eine spannende Diskussion:

Workshop von Dorthe Hutz-Nierhoff & Barbara Müller, Universität Freiburg

This workshop aims at jointly exploring must-haves, should-haves and nice-to-haves for supporting trending learning scenarios with ILIAS from a didactic perspective.

The future is now! Driven by the pandemic, not only has digitalization in teaching and learning experienced a considerable boost, long-time didactic desiderata for student-centered, competence-oriented and collaborative learning are increasingly finding their way into strategic considerations for future university education.

Is ILIAS well-equipped to meet the demands of these scenarios? What will it take to truly support the shift from teaching to learning and to provide for a seamless virtual learning environment that is safe and attractive to use for target audiences in higher education and professional development.

Laying the foundation for a hopefully fruitful outcome of the workshop the workshop hosts will provide a didactic impulse as well as up-to-date examples of challenge-based, collaborative learning scenarios piloted by EPICUR European University, self-organised study groups at the University of Freiburg and a self-study scenario from Advanced Continuing Studies.

The workshop participants will be invited to actively contribute to discussing, defining and prioritizing future features of ILIAS required to implement similar (or other) didactic scenarios. Corresponding feature requests will eventually be drafted and forwarded to the ILIAS Community as a basis for future development considerations to make ILIAS quantum-leap forward.

Prototype and Product Close-Up by Kendra Grotz, Fachhochschule Dortmund

With this practical contribution, I would like to elaborate on the linguistic perspective of accessibility in and for ILIAS. With regard to the issue at hand, it will be interesting to see what linguistics and technical communication have to offer.

The sub-project Inclusive Language and Accessibility within the project ILIAS.nrw works vigorously and successfully towards a more inclusive ILIAS: We systematically remove language barriers on a regular basis.

Our ultimate goal is a textual user interface speaking to everyone: to people of different genders, concentration spans, skill sets and linguistic backgrounds. Our approach to language is both critical and creative.

What do we have to be mindful of in this process? What conflicts of interest are there - and how do we solve them, how do others?

Fortunately, we can learn a thing or two from helpful rules and practices: We will take a look at easy language, controlled languages and translation-optimised writing.

You will discover the power of understandability and how to create it.

Practical Application Review by Wolfgang Schmidt-Sielex, Fachhochschule Dortmund

A comparison about digital accessibility on the web: yesterday, today, and in the near future. Additionally we will see concepts and procedures which the ILIAS community uses today to improve accessibility. This includes, among other things, how accessibility is integrated into the development process and how people identify and remove existing digital barriers.

Accessibility isn't the new "hot shit" that has been annoying Internet communities and their maintainers for just a couple of the latest CMS and LMS versions, and it is not an invention of governments who arbitrarily create new laws. For decades accessibility is a concept that has been integrated into the World Wide Web since the beginning, but has often met only with moderate enthusiasm by website developers.

What was it like, back then? How did you go about making your own website available to as many people as possible without any problems? Why do we still discover similar usability problems in web interfaces today, which require the same kind of problem solving as in the "Web 1.0" of the 90's? And how exactly do we meet the challenges today, especially in ILIAS and in a web that has become significantly more complex, in order to create solutions for everyone?

We get an insight into procedures and tools with which the ILIAS community makes their LMS more usable for everyone. We learn what digital barriers are, how we detect them, and how we can actively participate in improving ILIAS. The practical article offers a look back and a look into the future: ILIAS was great, ILIAS is awesome, ILIAS is going to be phenomenal!

Practical Application Review by Richard Klees, Technical Board des ILIAS-Vereins

The participants will get to know various possibilities to contribute and participate in the development of ILIAS, especially those for non-coders.

ILIAS is a free and open soure software that claims to be developed in an open and community driven process. In fact, this is built into the very core of FOSS: You, the user, can become the creator, the director of the software that you use.

The reality is a lot more complex: How is the development in a huge community organized? When, where and how are decisions made and who is responsible? How does the community agree on priorities and resource usage? How can I contribute? What is the relation between the ILIAS Society, service providers, maintainers, the product manager, the Technical Board and all the other groups and comitees in the ILIAS society? Can or should I become a member in these groups? And, isn’t software development something for programmers only, after all?

This tutorial session will show possibilities for everyone to participate in the maintenance and development of ILIAS. In the presentation of the possibilites, we will meet various comittees, groups and tools. The participants in the workshop will have a lot of time to ask questions and give inputs, so the participation will already start in this very slot.

Workshop von Mauro Sandrini, Eliminare il caos

Condividere un metodo per avere maggiore certezza del risultato di un progetto di formazione online e ibrida. Dal caos e dalla non consapevolezza alla conoscenza immediatamente utilizzabile.

Qual'è il bisogno percepito dall'organizzazione, la punta dell'iceberg? Finché non c'è consapevolezza è difficile dirlo, e solo tramite la condivisione e la conoscenza è possibile fare dei passi in questa direzione. Tramite una serie di "games" nel workshop verranno proposte delle scelte applicative. Il gioco di ruolo sarà analizzare le conflittualità che emergono nel case study utilizzando gli elementi più recenti emersi dalle neuroscienze.

Practical Application Review by Paola Lorenzi, Paola Lorenzi Life&Business Coach

Obiettivo della presentazione è illustrare la metodologia in modo da far comprendere l’importanza del coaching durante tutta la durata di un progetto elearning ma in particolare nella prima fase, che non può essere di mera raccolta delle esigenze formative.

Il coaching è un metodo creativo e strutturato di esplorazione ed indagine che consente di far emergere il potenziale delle persone coinvolte.

Inserire il coaching nei progetti E-Learning significa generare un sostenibile cambiamento sulla vision delle persone e porli nella condizione di esporre la materia in modo comprensibile, efficace e attrattivo, secondo i più attuali standard della formazione online.

Ho sviluppato un metodo progettuale di consulenza aziendale con il supporto del coaching, allo scopo di ottenere un'adeguata indagine sulle aspettative ed esigenze della Direzione Aziendale e realizzare un progetto ”sartoriale” rivolto alla formazione interna, ai distributori, ai clienti e alla rete vendita.

Selezionare una risorsa, seppur esperta in materia, ed inserirla in un progetto e-learning non basta. È necessario metterla nella condizione di beneficiare di un clima di connessione, consapevolezza e responsabilità rispetto alla erogazione della comunicazione stessa e dei contenuti formativi.

Il coaching facilita la connessione attraverso l'ascolto attivo e l’attenzione ai feedback, tra le volontà aziendali e gli esperti della materia (SME), per renderli più consapevoli sugli obiettivi, sicuri ed efficaci nel parlare davanti alla telecamera facendo emergere i loro punti di forza.

I discenti che fruiranno di questa formazione adeguatamente preparata ne trarranno certamente maggiori vantaggi sia nella motivazione che sui risultati preventivamente pianificati.

Praxisbeitrag von Uwe Kohnle & Robert Krämer, internetlehrer GmbH

Die Leistungsfähigkeit von xAPI/cmi5 soll verdeutlicht werden.

Im Rahmen des BMBF INVITE Programms für einen innovativen digitalen Weiterbildungsraum nimmt das LMS ILIAS in zahlreichen Projekten eine zentrale Rolle ein.

In diesem Vortrag werden Ausbaustufen und Systemkomponenten vorgestellt, die durch die leistungsfähige xAPI/cmi5 Implementierung in ILIAS realisierbar sind und als Ausgangspunkt für den Aufbau moderner Lernökosysteme auf Open Source Basis dienen.

Der Übergang von monolithischen Lernplattformen, bedingt durch veraltete Standards und proprietäre Technologieanbieter, hin zu serviceorientierten Open Source basierten Ökosystemen befindet sich im vollen Gange. Die Schlüsselfunktion von xAPI und cmi5 wird anhand eines flexiblen, skalierbaren und zukunftssicheren Lernökosystems bestehend aus den Open Source Komponenten ILIAS LMS, Typo3/H5P LCMS und Learning Record Store vorgestellt. Im Fokus stehen dabei interaktive Dashboards zur effizienten Datenanalyse/Reporting sowie Werkzeuge zum Betrieb adaptiver Lehr-/Lernangebote - alles unter Berücksichtigung aktueller DSGVO konformer Datenhaltung.

Practical Application Review by Philippe Decottignies & Nejma Belkhdim, Neuronys France

Research proves that active learning results in more engagement and a higher retention rate among trainees. However, for trainers, creating active learning materials is both difficult and time-consuming. We will demonstrate how to create them faster with Nolej.

We use state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to analyze your static learning materials and apply the theories from neuroscience and cognitive psychology to generate engaging interactive H5P learning activities. Within minutes, NOLEJ enhances raw course materials with additional concepts, summarizes key parts of the course, and generates a large set of questions and flashcards. NOLEJ even turns passive videos into more engaging H5P interactive videos. NOLEJ is so intuitive and easy to use that even your best students or expert employees could become course authors and extend your eLearning catalog at a fraction of the cost.

NOLEJ automatically generates:

• H5P interactive books,
• H5P interactive videos,
• H5P interactive games (Crossword, Drag The Word, Find The Word),
• H5P interactive assessments (question set with MCQ, True/False, Fill The Blank).

All these interactive learning activities can be:

• uploaded to ILIAS platform via SCORM or H5P,
• embedded on your website with one line of HTML code,
• executed from suppor LTI 1.3.

During this talk, before demonstrating NOLEJ, we will first introduce what is Natural Language Processing (NLP), how it works nowadays with deep neural networks, how it could be applied to automate the course creation, how it could be combined with neuroscience and cognitive psychology to improve the course efficiency for the learner, how to keep the teacher in the loop while saving his/her precious time…

Practical Application Review by Nicola Mastrolilli, Cartesiani

Dissemination of knowledge about the standard

First part
The slow but unstoppable march of the new Experience API standard continues. Some adoption data, some news about new xAPI Learning Record Providers and new features of the xAPI Authoring Tool.

The xAPI Profile Server and version 2.0 of the specification are scheduled to be released later this year (editor's note: both elements should be officially released by the ILIAS conference, and the information gathered in the working groups is sufficient for this part in any case).

Part Two
One of the consequences of the pandemic-lockdown combination was the impact on corporate training, which inevitably had to change. Today, there is an increasing need to redesign training in distance learning or at least in hybrid mode.

The latter option is the most difficult, but perhaps it really is the most effective solution.
Experience API can help companies and trainers design and deliver highly effective blended and/or hybrid training programs.

Some practical approaches to designing hybrid classrooms and using xAPI before, during, and after class will be highlighted.

Third part
WimmelxAPI. Through a simple game with pictures from the famous Wimmel book, the audience is made to playfully explore the design of xAPI statements.
The game, of course, allows everyone to participate, even those who are not familiar with the specification. For this very reason, it can be an excellent tool for spreading knowledge about this standard.

Demo von Martin Gorgas, Universität Marburg, und Rob Falkenstein, Universität Freiburg

Im Beitrag sollen die Möglichkeiten einer Kopplung von ILIAS mit der kollaborativen Software OnlyOffice aufgezeigt, sowie Teilnehmende darüber aufklären werden, wie sie dieses Werkzeug auch an ihrer Organisation einrichten und nutzen können.

In diesem Demo-Beitrag geht es um das Thema kollaborative Werkzeuge am Beispiel von OnlyOffice. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen in Europa entwickelten OpenSource Online Editor für Dokumente, Tabellen und Präsentationen. Eine Erstellung und Bearbeitung erfolgt rein über den Webbrowser in Echtzeit und eignet sich somit für eine Vielzahl von kollaborative Szenarien. Diese Funktionalität wird von Lehrenden und Studierenden in ILIAS als Desiderat angesehen, sodass auf Drittplattformen wie z.B. „Confluence“ oder „Google Docs“ ausgewichen wird. Um diese Lücke zu schließen, haben wir die Kopplung zwischen ILIAS und OnlyOffice zu Ende spezifiziert und betreiben einen OnlyOffice-Dienst sowie ein entsprechendes ILIAS-Plugin aktuell in einer ersten Pilotphase.

Unseren Vortrag möchten wir in drei Teile gliedern:

• Im ersten Teil wird es schwerpunktmäßig um die Einrichtung des OnlyOffice-Dienstes gehen. Hier präsentieren wir kurz die unterschiedlichen Lizenzmodelle, die verwendete Technologie und die aufgetretenen Schwierigkeiten.
• Im zweiten Teil bekommen die Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Szenarien in OnlyOffice selbst auszuprobieren. Hierfür werden wir unsere Anleitung und eine Plattform bereitstellen, damit die Teilnehmenden sich selbst ein Bild verschaffen können, welche Möglichkeiten OnlyOffice bietet und wie gut diese auf Anhieb verständlich sind. Einige Funktionen sind nicht selbsterklärend und werden durch die Anleitung abgedeckt. In dieser Phase bitten wir die Teilnehmenden, auf mögliche Fehler zu achten und potentielle Feature-Wünsche zu sammeln.
• Schließlich möchten wir im dritten Teil in einem moderierten Format auf die Erfahrungen der Teilnehmenden eingehen und weitere Anforderungen spezifizieren.

Workshop von Yvonne Seiler, Universität Bern, und Enrico Zenzen, Leifos GmbH

Wir möchten mit dem Beitrag die Sichtbarkeit und Wichtigkeit der Kitchen Sink und des UI Frameworks von ILIAS stärken.

ILIAS lebt vom Erfahrungsschatz, von Vorschlägen und Ideen aus der Community. Die Ausformulierung und Visualisierung der eigenen Ideen ist allerdings keine leichte Aufgabe.

Nach dem letztjährigen Vortrag zur KitchenSink, wie man mit UI-Komponenten arbeiten kann, wird es jetzt praktisch. Im Rahmen des Workshops üben wir, wie Komponenten aus der Kitchen Sink verwendet und neue Konzepte KitchenSink-kompatibel werden können. Wir zeigen auf, wie Community-Mitglieder mit unterschiedlichen Kompetenzen zur KitchenSink beitragen können.

Anhand der folgenden Leitfragen sollen sowohl grundlegende Aspekte als auch konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen im Umgang mit der Kitchen Sink veranschaulicht werden:

• Wozu brauchen wir die Kitchen Sink?
• Was kann ich zur Kitchen Sink beitragen?
• Wie nutze ich Komponenten der Kitchen Sink für meine Konzepte?
• Was mache ich, wenn die Komponenten der Kitchen Sink nicht ausreichen und erweitert werden müssen?
• Wie überführe ich Komponenten in die Kitchen Sink?

Zusätzlich laden wir zur weiteren Diskussion bei der Konzeption von ILIAS Features und der Kitchen Sink ein.

Hintergrund: Was ist die Kitchen Sink?
Um die Konsistenz und Qualität von ILIAS zu erhöhen, wurden die Anforderungen an die Konzeption von Features in den letzten Jahren kontinuierlich erweitert und angepasst. Mit der «Kitchen Sink» (ILIAS UI Framework) steht ein Werkzeugkoffer voller User Interface Komponenten zur Verfügung, der bei der Konzeption von ILIAS Entwicklungen unterstützt und die Überführung der Ideen ins Feature Wiki erleichtert.
