@tshrinivasan and this is same class looked from the inside with the students and their assignments submitted.
I teach with @libreoffice and I require students to use LibreOffice to join my courses.
They also do assignments with #LibreOffice in every class of 90 classes I held since 2017.
They submit assignments in #OpenDocumentFormat of course as Microsoft's format is forbidden in my course. See the right side of picture below.
@ademalsasa @libreoffice @tshrinivasan Seems like an obvious requirement. Who would try to use MS Word for a class where LibreOffice is the topic?
@ademalsasa @tshrinivasan @libreoffice Are these quite young students? If we're dealing with high school or university students, I'd say #LaTeX is better suited. If these are younger students, then LibreOffice is probably a good idea. In any case, it's good to hear that MS Word is banned.
@resist1984 in Indonesia, #LaTeX is not popular even in academics.
My students are diverse in age as I open this online course for everybody so many of them old and many of them also young people.
So my priority is to migrate them from proprietary software (MS Office) to free software (LibreOffice) and make #OpenDocumentFormat a public norm.
This way I achieve these things faster and better even though I do this all alone.
Thanks for asking this, Friend!
@resist1984 @ademalsasa @tshrinivasan @libreoffice LyX is also a good option
@resist1984 LibreOffice is the requirement to join my class and is not the only one topic.
I have basics like #FreeSoftware Introduction, LibreOffice & #OpenDocumentFormat Importance, Computing Basics, among others.
It is still not obvious in Indonesia as many people do not know #LibreOffice at all and still use MS Office a lot. So I started this.
Since my course started 2017, many people got to know LibreOffice and further Open Document Format.
