 Leveraging open-source software to advance learning technologies in higher education for interior designMona Ansari (), Hamzah A. Alkhazaleh (), Faris Abuhashish () and Anas W. Arram () International Journal of Innovative Research and Scientific Studies, 2025, vol. 8, issue 5, 621-631 Abstract: Open-source software (OSS) has become a revolutionary development in higher education, providing improved and affordable solutions for learning technologies. This paper explores OSS as an instrument of change within higher learning institutions, aiming to enhance accessibility, cooperation, and individualization to suit different institutional needs. The analysis employs mathematical measures such as cost analyses, accessibility metrics, and models of adoption growth, which are compared with survey data. It also considers limitations like technical support and sustainability, offering strategies to overcome these barriers. Examples demonstrate how OSS can improve student participation, reduce costs, and promote teamwork. The conclusion suggests that integrating OSS into learning technologies can foster innovation and inclusivity in higher education.
