Communication, Information and Media Center (KIM)

ILIAS learning platform

The Hohenheim ILIAS learning platform provides you with Internet-based teaching. You can use ILIAS to utilise a variety of teaching scenarios and provide students with multimedia programme and course materials. You can also include digital learning objects in your lectures and communicate easily with your students.

ILIAS maintenance window always Thursdays 4 until 6 p.m.

Every Thursday maintenance work on the ILIAS system can take place between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. During this time window ILIAS can be used normally. However, there is an increased risk of malfunctions during this time. Therefore please do not schedule critical events such as registration procedures or the submission of exams or homework during this time window.

Tips for lecturers

You can find detailed information on ILIAS and brief instructions in the Schnell-Digital Anleitungen (in German only, visible after logging into ILIAS).

You can have context-sensitive online help displayed - no matter where you are on the platform. Activate the online help directly in ILIAS by clicking on the question mark at the top right of any page.

To assign students to groups (e.g. for excursions, exercises, presentations...), we recommend using groups with limited membership using the object “Buchungspool”. Both functions offer the possibility to set a limited number of participants.

  • Advantages groups: Membership conditions/limits guarantee that every user only registers for one group.
  • Advantages booking pool: Apart from booking pools without set timetables (e.g. for giving out oral presentation subjects), it is also possible to create booking pools with set timetables and booking periods (e.g. for room booking).

If you want to re-use courses from previous semesters for the upcoming semester, please delete all previous course members before the course starts (Tab “Mitglieder” > select “alle Mitglieder auswählen” > click on “Entfernen”).

You can design your department on ILIAS as you wish and create courses and other objects there as an administrator.

When creating ILIAS courses, please always use the complete course title with module number from the module catalogue. Your ILIAS course will then be automatically linked in HohCampus. A description of the courses with metadata, e.g. semester, location, time and lecturer, makes it easier to find the courses in the ILIAS Magazine.
