WEBVTT - generated by Videoportal Universität Freiburg 1 00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:10.350 We're happy to announce the upgrade of our ILIAS learning platform to version 7 for the winter semester 21/22. 2 00:00:10.350 --> 00:00:15.640 This will include a new look, a new page editor and some other new features. 3 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:26.010 In this video we will show you the most important changes to ensure that you are motivated and equipped to explore and work with the learning platform. 4 00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:30.120 Experienced users will probably notice straight away that the design of the user 5 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:39.100 interface and in particular the menu navigation of ILIAS has considerably changed. 6 00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:44.790 First of all, the main bar of ILIAS has moved from the top of the screen to the left side. 7 00:00:44.790 --> 00:00:48.550 In the mobile view, it is displayed at the bottom of the screen. 8 00:00:48.550 --> 00:00:58.090 This ensures a better overview of the various elements in the header (or upper bar) and the main bar, which is now on the left and/or at the bottom. 9 00:00:58.090 --> 00:01:05.000 It will also be much easier to use the learning platform on mobile devices with small screens. 10 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:13.000 In ILIAS 7, the main bar will contain all the navigation points that are relevant for you so that you can quickly access 11 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:20.000 various functions and areas of the learning platform by clicking on one of the icons in the main bar. 12 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:31.000 The slate, which is a kind of drawer, will, in almost all cases slide out as an additional window, where various items of the menu are grouped together. 13 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:37.000 These include, for example, links to other areas and functions of ILIAS. 14 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:45.000 Compared to ILIAS 5, the items in the main bar as well as their sub-items have been changed and rearranged. 15 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:53.000 A click on the same button or on the left arrow underneath the slate will then close it again. 16 00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:00.000 When you select one of the items in the slate, a new page will usually open in the content area. 17 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:13.000 Here you can then carry on navigating in the usual way. Sometimes, however, a drop down menu opens in the slate. These items are marked with an arrow. 18 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.000 If you select the Button "Overview", the slate will in fact not open, 19 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.000 but you will be taken directly to your personal overview page, which is a kind of virtual desktop. 20 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:32.000 On this page, you will find your favourite courses and tasks or the calendar, for example. 21 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:40.000 Three other interesting features related to the changes in the design and operation of ILIAS should be mentioned at this point. 22 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:49.000 Experienced users in particular will no doubt be pleased with these. First by clicking on to "To Do's" in your personal Workspace, 23 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:58.000 you will now get a central overview of all upcoming deadlines from your courses so that you never lose sight of them. 24 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:06.000 Second, the Tree View of the Repository, which is not very intuitive and a bit hard to find in ILIAS 5, 25 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.000 can now be very conveniently accessed by clicking on the "Repository" button. 26 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:17.000 This will make it even easier to navigate and to find your way around the platform. 27 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:23.000 Furthermore, it is now possible to unsubscribe from several courses at the same time. 28 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:30.000 You can now do this very easily via "My Courses and Groups in the overview or the repository. 29 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:38.000 By clicking on the arrow next to the heading, you can then select "Unsubscribe Multiple" memberships. 30 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.000 The other major area where visible changes have been made concerns the ILIAS page editor, 31 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.000 which is the editing view that opens when you click on "Customize Page" in your courses, groups or folders. 32 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:57.000 This button is now centrally located right next to the second important button "Add New Item". 33 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:08.000 Experienced users will immediately notice that the editing bar, which used to appear as a pop up in ILIAS 5 and the hints, 34 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:15.000 which used to appear at the bottom of the page, have moved into the slate to the main bar. 35 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:25.000 To insert content, you still click on the plus sign at the desired position and select a type of content in the pop up window. 36 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.000 However, the way in which content is edited has slightly changed. 37 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.000 To do this, click on the desired content element just as before. 38 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:45.000 However, the editor is then not displayed above the page, but appears in this slate instead. 39 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:50.000 With ILIAS 7, automatic saving has been implemented for page editing. 40 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:57.000 While you are notified of saving activity on the screen, saving itself is carried out in the background. 41 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.000 You are therefore not forced to interrupt editing until saving is complete, 42 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:08.000 so that all in all, working with a page editor should now take much less time. 43 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.000 This was a first quick look at major changes in the new version of ILIAS. 44 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:17.000 If you want to learn more about the functions and special features of the learning platform, 45 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:23.000 we recommend our digital teaching toolbox. We will also provide for the videos on ILIAS 7 46 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:28.000 in which various aspects of the platform will be presented in more detail. 47 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:42.000 If there are still questions left, please feel free to contact us via email to ilias@rz.uni-freiburg.de.
