In their own words
Ilios
Ilios is an open-source curriculum management platform for health professions education. It collects, organizes, analyzes, and delivers curricular information for programs, departments, schools, and institutions, with controls for data integrity, security, and intellectual property. Program tools support year-by-year tracking, competency domains, content review workflows, and historical audits. Calendar functions include mobile views, search, synchronization, downloads, and real-time alerts about schedule, location, or content changes. Reporting covers curriculum mapping, teaching and content hours, trends, archiving, and accreditation support. An API connects external systems, and Ilios complements learning platforms such as Moodle and Canvas. The software uses a Symfony PHP/SQL backend; Linux with a LAMP stack is recommended, though Windows IIS deployments are also possible. Authentication defaults to native credentials, with Shibboleth 2.4, CAS, or LDAP configurable. Hosted Ilios starts at $1,000 a month per school; implementation, customization, and deployment fees are separate. The project offers a live demo by request.
