Welcome to the official eLAIX website
eLAIX ['i.læks] is an OpenOffice.org extension that allows you to convert a text document (also Word documents) into an ILIAS learning module. After the conversion an exported eLAIX package can be imported into ILIAS as a ready to go learning module. After the import, a learning module created by eLAIX is fully editable within ILIAS. Since eLAIX has been completely written in OpenOffice Basic, it is available for all platforms that are supported by OpenOffice.org, mainly Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
eLAIX is free software, released under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL).
Download the latest eLAIX version
The new eLAIX version 3.1.0 is now provided as an OpenOffice.org extension. Several problems, that came along with OpenOffice 3.1 and 3.2 have been solved. Download the new eLAIX version directly from the OpenOffice extension repository. Please note, that you should remove any older version of eLAIX, before you install the new eLAIX extension.
With eLAIX you can:
- create ILIAS learning units without the need of beeing online,
- structure, format and arrange content with the help of about 40 new toolbar-buttons,
- transfer a document to an ILIAS importable learning package with a mouseclick.
- transfer existing documents like MS Word documents to the ILIAS platform,
- use a single document for multiple purposes (pdf, DocBook, doc, html, xml, etc.)
The eLAIX package comes with an easy installer for all platforms and a detailed (german and english) documentation, designed as an eLAIX sample learning-unit. I hope there will be people, who want to translate the documentation into other languages.
