ILIAS
ILIAS is the e-learning platform of the University of Mannheim. It gives you access to course documents such as lecture scripts, videos, PowerPoint slides, and helpful literature. In addition, it serves as a platform to contact and connect with teachers and other students. ILIAS is also often used to provide students with additional learning support in the form of forums, wikis, tests, or digital learning modules.
How can I use ILIAS?
You can access ILIAS by logging in via the website of the University of Mannheim. You simply need:
- your Uni-ID (user ID) and
- the password for your Uni-ID
Good to know
Once you have been admitted to a course in Portal², you will automatically receive access to the corresponding course in ILIAS. Thanks to this direct link, you can easily navigate between the systems, switching from a Portal² course to the related ILIAS course, and vice versa. To make it even easier for you, the two courses are identically named.
In addition, you can look for ILIAS course groups by using the search function, and join them either directly or upon request. With Etherpad (comparable to Google Docs), ILIAS makes it possible for you and others to simultaneously work on text documents.
