What is the ILIAS Media Portal?
Intelligently search lecture recordings – with AI transcription, full-text search, and direct navigation to any moment in the video.
Smarter access to your lecture videos
The KIT Library's ILIAS Media Portal extends the learning platform ILIAS with powerful media management and search capabilities.
Lecture videos are automatically transcribed and provided as searchable subtitles. This lets you find videos where a term is spoken – and jump directly to the exact moment.
Access is personalized: the portal shows you only the media from your ILIAS courses – ideal for exam preparation. You can access the portal either via the button in ILIAS or directly via the URL.
Learn more effectively, search more precisely, understand better.
Content search
Search for technical terms like "Moore's Law" – the portal searches automatic transcripts of all accessible videos and returns matches with direct timestamp links.
Jump to the exact moment
Click a timestamp link in the search results – the video starts exactly where your term is spoken. No more fast-forwarding.
Subtitles DE & EN
Auto-generated subtitles in German and English aid comprehension – especially during fast or quiet passages. Activate them directly in the video player.
Personalized access
After logging in with your KIT account, you see and search only videos from your ILIAS courses – ideal for exam preparation.
