Technical Evaluation Report 24: Open Source Software: an alternative to costly Learning Management Systems
Abstract
This is the first in a series of two reports discussing the use of open source software (OSS) and free software (FS) in online education as an alternative to expensive proprietary software. It details the steps taken in a Canadian community college to download and install the Linux Operating System in order to support an OSS/ FS learning management system (LMS).
