The use of Open source tools has
been increasing over the years in various fields including the teaching and
learning field. It is a better way of utilizing tools with a lower cost than
the market tools that are available as well as the same tool can be customized
to fit an institute (or a specialization). By integrating the collaborative
methods and techniques with the open source tools that were customized, the
students and teachers would be able to achieve collaborative teaching and
learning more effectively as well as the teacher would have a better way of
delivering the learning outcomes by the help of the tools. Moreover, the tools
would assist in clearing the distractions that the students may have during the
class by giving them a tasks through tools and keep them engaged and away from
what can distract the students during a lecture. Furthermore, open source tools
can provide a rather fun and unique experience for the students to interact
with each other as well as with the teacher to meet the objectives of the modules
as well as build a sense of teamwork between the students which can help the
student not only achieve the learning outcomes but also assist in their careers
after they finish with their studies.
The open source tools will be
divided into categories through which the teachers would be able to choose from
depending on the learning outcomes of their lessons. A framework is suggested
by the authors to use the open source tools in the most effective way.
