ILIAS - the learning platform at KIT
ILIAS is a learning platform, often also referred to as a Learning Management System (LMS). Learning platforms offer functions for the distribution of learning materials, the organization of learning processes, the determination of learning outcomes and the possibility of using different communication media. The tools offered can be flexibly combined with each other, allowing a variety of scenarios to be realized, from supporting classroom courses to purely online course offerings.
