ILIAS is a powerful and flexible software for web-based learning and working. Far beyond the possibilities of a traditional learning management system (LMS), ILIAS can be used as a learning, knowledge and collaboration platform in a wide variety of contexts. ILIAS is not only used for working in courses and groups or for exchanging files. It is also used as an examination platform or as a working environment for projects. ILIAS allows the collection of data and survey results as well as the creation of learning content with the built-in editor. Thanks to its licensing as open source software and its active development, support and user community, ILIAS can be customised precisely to the needs of your institution or company. In practice, ILIAS installations look just as varied and diverse - exactly as they are needed in each individual case.

ILIAS Reviews
"Solid LMS for Universities"
Overall: Using it at our University since 2007, efficient and stable
Pros: Flexible, solid LMS with very nice Design
Cons: It's an LMS, meaning, rather large and might give some work to maintain.
"ILIAS - Multifunktional"
Overall: Wir sind sehr begeistert von ILIAS und auch der Möglichkeit uns selbst in die Entwicklung einzubringen.
Pros: ILIAS ist extrem vielfältig und bietet für viele verschiedene Lernanlässe die passenden Tools und das On Premise und somit unter eigener Datenhohheit.
Cons: Der Einstieg ist aufgrund der großen Vielfalt recht komplex. Man muss am Ball bleiben und braucht genügend Personal, welches sich damit auskennt.
"Self-paced learning system with authoring tools"
Pros: The authoring tool provides everything you need for the management of content directly on the platform. You can create user groups to enhance internal networking and transform video tutorials into effective online learning courses. It also provides features for organizing and managing tests and evaluations on courses with final certification for users following a self-paced learning course.
Cons: If you can read German, then you have lots of documentation. Not everything is translated. When users edit a competence profile, it is difficult for them to keep track of their progress. and they have no means to know when they have fulfilled a profile. Sometimes the PDF generated has errors.
Vendor Response
"ILIAS Lernmanagementsystem"
Overall: Wir nutzen ILIAS an der katho seit über zwölf Jahren, die Plattform hat sich als Standard für Lehrangebote etabliert. ILIAS stellt einen Kern an relevanten Funktionen zur Verfügung, weitere Software (Videotelefonie, Plagiatscan etc.) integrieren wir laufend mithilfe von Plugins. Insgesamt ein hochflexibles und empfehlenswertes System.
Pros: Die Anzahl der Lernmöglichkeiten, die flexible Anpassbarkeit, die Kurs- und Lernverwaltung, das Rollen- und Rechtemanagement, die umfangreichen Module zur Durchführung von Prüfungen.
Cons: Die Bedienung ist stellenweise zu komplex und kann Nutzer überfordern.
"Seit über 20 Jahren überzeugt von ILIAS"
Pros: Wir nutzen ILIAS an unserer Hochschule seit mehr als 20 Jahren und sind überzeugt von diesem Lernmanagementsystem. ILIAS bietet zwahlreiche Funktionen zum kooperativen Arbeiten im digitalen Raum, für die Durchführung von E-Prüfungen und die Organisation von Kursen, erleichtern unsere Lehre erheblich. Datenschutz und -sicherheit sowie Barrierearmut sind in den vergangenen Jahren noch wichtiger geworden. Gerade in diesen Bereichen sind wir mit ILIAS sehr zufrieden.
Cons: Die Usability ist bei manchen Objekten nach wie vor umständlich. Für optisch angsprechende Kurse und Inhalte ist eine gewisse Erfahrung notwendig.
