Information Technology and Open Source : Application for Education,Innovation,and Sustainability

---

Open Source Technology (OST) is now a powerful platform that has aptitudes in different extents. It provides many in-built
software applications (e.g., Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox etc.) at no cost which can be linked to different educational
applications. These applications have some features along with synchronizing documents in multiple electronic devices like
desktop, laptop, tabs, and mobile phones that are not even available in many of the paid software. Moreover, these technologies
have pedagogical, technological and financial affordances especially for the developing countries, like Bangladesh that have
budget constrains which results in the issue of sustainability. Considering these aspects, OST could be a suitable alternative for
the users of educational institutions in Bangladesh that might evolve many added benefits. For example, OST does not require
any additional maintenance cost like annual software updating, domain and hosting charges and so on. Therefore, the aim of this
paper is to provide a detailed guideline of using this emerging technology for teacher training programme where trainers are the
teachers and trainee teachers are the students. This conceptual paper shows the thorough procedures of how the users (teacher
and student) can accomplish their specific tasks like producing, storing, sharing during the training programme by using OST. At
the end of the training, the trainee teachers will be competent enough to use these applications to their own education settings.
Thus teacher training would be a means to introduce these emerging technologies in many educational institutions within a short
time. Moreover, using these technologies will not demand any cost other than the internet charge and hence the programme will
be sustainable. An empirical research could be done in order to explore more potentiality in this emerging concept.
