STUDENT COMPUTER LABORATORIES WITH OPEN SOURCE TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

  The increasing number of students, of course, also increases their costs. In fact, most of the expenditures are unnecessary. We can cost our laboratories, which we allocate quite a lot of budget, cheaper.

For this purpose, we can use ARM based, single board small computers. Their price is very low. However, they are quite sufficient for our work. We can equip these devices with operating systems free of charge with open source software.

We set up a test lab with 10 people for this, for testing. 10 people were working in our normal laboratory, also. We compared working convenience, productivity, working time and costs.

Despite the high cost in normal laboratories, there was a more comfortable and enjoyable work environment in our test lab. We have worked more enthusiastically in our lab with open source software and devices. So we saw that it was more efficient.
