Online Learning Appliance Suite: ILIAS component

ILIAS Leaning Management System component of my online learning Suite. One of two LMS's in my suite.

Description

ILIAS

A standalone Virtual Appliance and/or part of the Online Learning Appliance Suite (OLAS)

by Farren Constable, May 20, 2006

ILIAS is a Course Management System or Learning Management System. I have included both Moodle and ILIAS in my OLAS as they are both very powerful systems but they have different pedagogies. I recommend visiting both web sites to see the differences. Also, a Google search for "ILIAS Moodle Pedagogy" will yield a plethora of reading material on the subject. Here's a bit of info from the ILIAS web site:

----------
ILIAS is a powerful web-based learning management system that allows users to create, edit and publish learning and teaching material in an integrated system with their normal web browsers. Tools for cooperative working and communication are included as well. ILIAS is available as open source software under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Universities, educational institutions, private and public companies, and every interested person may use the system free of charge and contribute to its further development.
----------

While this ILIAS server could very easily stand alone and be extremely useful, I consider it to be one component of my Online Learning Appliance Suite (OLAS). Please read the "Online Learning Appliance Suite info.txt" file for more information.

Full documentation, additional information, news, etc., is available at http://www.ilias.de.

This ILIAS Server is built on Open SuSE 10.1 from opensuse.org.
The ILIAS product is version 3.6.2 from www.ilias.de.

The root password is 'teach'.
There is one user account named 'teacher' with a password of 'password'.
There is NO GUI installed for this server to keep it lean.
The network is configured to obtain a DHCP address.
YAST is installed and is how I did most of the configuration of the Linux system, including Apahce.
Once the server is up, you can access the ILIAS server by pointing a web browser to: http://server-ip-address/ilias3.
There is a default ILIAS user account of 'root' with a password of 'homer'.
Access to the ILIAS administration page is at http://server-ip-address/ilias3/setup/setup.php.
The ILIAS administrator password is 'teach'.
I created a default client named 'default'.
The mySQL root password is also 'teach'.
I did not install Java in this VM as I am still not clear on what the recent "open sourcing" of Java allows for. Java is only required if you plan to use the SCORM piece of ILIAS.

Simply power up the VM, and once it is at a login prompt, you are ready to connect with a browser at http://server-ip-address/ilias3. You may need to log in a root and run the 'ifconfig' command to find out what IP address the VM was given from your DHCP server. Then, point your browser to that IP address as described above.

Enjoy!
