<strong>Transferring information</strong> from the teacher to the student can be done easily thanks to the OpenTeacher file format. The teacher creates an OpenTeacher file with the information (s)he wants to teach, sends it to the students, and the students can use OpenTeacher to be taught and tested about this. In addition, more and more publishers of (especially) language education books provide word list files along with their books. OpenTeacher can read many file formats, including the popular T2K (Teach2000), Wrts, and ABBYY Lingvo Tutor.

Open source in the classroom

57.

One of the important things about OpenTeacher is that it's open source software released under the <a href="https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a>. This means everyone can see the OpenTeacher source code: the way OpenTeacher was built. It also means that the <strong>knowledge</strong> that was used to make OpenTeacher <strong>can be reused by others</strong>.

58.

Because OpenTeacher is opensource software, it is also very accessible. OpenTeacher code can be used to create OpenTeacher for almost any platform. We already provide OpenTeacher for Windows, Mac OS X and many Linux distributions. This way we try to provide OpenTeacher to anyone who wants to use it.

59.

Anyone who wants to make modifications to OpenTeacher can also do so. If your organisation needs to make a modified version of OpenTeacher, this is perfectly possible as long as the <a href="https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GPL</a> remains intact. Experience also tells us that if many users want a new feature implemented, there is often a software developer who implements this.

60.

OpenTeacher is completely <strong>community-driven</strong>. All OpenTeacher contributors are <strong>volunteers</strong>, and OpenTeacher is <strong>not focused on making profits</strong>. For more information about open source software, please visit the <a href="https://www.fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</a>.

Make sure that both <strong>python2</strong> and <strong>pyqt</strong> are installed. If you use OpenTeacher from source, you have to link <strong>/usr/bin/python</strong> to <strong>/usr/bin/python2</strong> instead of <strong>/usr/bin/python3</strong>, or change the first line of <strong>bin/openteacher.py</strong> from <strong>&#35;!/usr/bin/env python</strong> to <strong>&#35;!/usr/bin/env python2</strong>. You can also just install OpenTeacher via the ArchLinux (.pkg.tar.xz) package, available on the Download page.
