The use of FOSS-based solutions as a response to the challenges of using software in the teaching processes of higher education

Today, modern teaching relies heavily on the use of different software solutions, and modern teaching processes partly require the application of home learning concepts, which imply the application of those software solutions on personal student computer resources. By trying to provide software environments identical to those within higher education institutions, certain problems were identified that should be overcome in order to ensure the quality of the teaching process. The paper presents a possible solution based on the features provided by free and open source software (FOSS) and which enables easy and practical implementation of a uniform software environment for each student, regardless of the personal computer environment that is currently in use.
