Abstract
Higher education institutions mainly use commercial software in the realization of their teaching process. The transition to the online teaching process revealed certain problems when using this type of software and it was necessary to find an adequate solution to overcome the problems related to online teaching environment. Certainly one of the solutions is to find appropriate software alternatives that are free from certain restrictions which are manifested during commercial software use. The paper shows how these problems are practically overcome by introducing free and open source software within the implementation of the teaching process in two subjects of the study program Mining Engineering at the Technical Faculty in Bor. The specific reasons and proper analysis for making such a transition are presented, as well as the analysis of the results achieved during the previous academic years when the mentioned software is used in a real environment during the teaching process.
