What is ILIAS?
Central learning platform
ILIAS is the central teaching and learning platform of the University of Bern. ILIAS is connected to KSL (Core Teaching System at the University of Bern for planning courses and degrees) via an interface and usually automatically creates a digital course room for courses created in KSL. This means that ILIAS can be used to support teaching efficiently - both in-person and online.
Access to ILIAS: ilias.unibe.ch
