This presentation discusses acceptance models for free and open source software (FLOSS) in education. It describes a conceptual model for factors influencing FLOSS acceptance that was validated through interviews and surveys of teachers. The study found FLOSS is used but not routinely due to lack of knowledge, misconceptions, and perceived barriers. It recommends schools develop FLOSS expertise and policies, and the government improve FLOSS information and support networks to increase adoption.
