ILIAS

The Open Source Learning Management System

Visit ILIAS

ILIAS is an open source learning management system released under the GNU General Public License, in use since 1998 by universities, companies, schools and public sector organisations. It provides integrated tools for implementing individual learning scenarios and training programmes. Development is driven by an international community and coordinated by the non-profit ILIAS open source e-Learning e.V. association.

The platform offers solutions tailored to higher education, companies, schools and the public sector, along with a demo installation and downloadable releases for self-hosted use. Support resources include onboarding, user documentation, online help, forums, a bug tracker and a security reporting channel. A network of professional service providers offers consulting, custom adaptations, hosting and training. The software can be used free of charge, and community members participate in guiding further development through the association.
