Abstract

At the beginning of the 21st century, ITs became an indispensable part of
education. One of the main problems in this period was the acquisition of equipment
and implementation of information technology into modern education. Great features
of this technology are underused in many developing countries, and one of the main
reasons was insufficient technical equipment in schools, and insufficient training of
teachers for their application. The vast majority of schools use software that fall into
proprietary software of IT companies, who charge these products at high prices. The
aim of this study is to present a new point of research in the field of information
systems and education. In particular, this study draws attention to the opportunities
and impact of Open Source Software (OSS). This topic is very relevant in
professional circles, since the city of Munich decided to switch to OSS in order to
save a considerable funds. Now some of the countries of the EU are considering
switching their computer systems on OSS, and there are also those who have already
made their first steps in this direction. This topic should be considered from different
aspects, such as economic, technological, pedagogical, sociological, cultural, legal
aspects and etc.
