Wikis – Research collaboration

A wiki is a hypertext system consisting of websites that are networked and linked to each other and can be edited by many people. The best-known implementation is Wikipedia.

ILIAS (Integrated Learning, Information and Work Cooperation System) offers an easy-to-use wiki function with various options for structuring and designing content, as well as the ability to embed images and videos.

Members of the University of Bern can create their own wiki and use it for research project management, knowledge organization, research literature, link collections, and documentation, etc.

 

ILIAS login

To log in to ILIAS, you need a Campus Account that is linked to a Switch edu-ID account (see instructions “Create Switch edu-ID”; in German). You then log in to ILIAS using your Switch edu-ID.
