- Using Free Software in Higher Education for Creative Purposes: The Case of OpenLab ESEVPublication . Gonçalves, Nelson; Pacheco Figueiredo, MariaOpenLab ESEV is a recent project of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu’s School of Education that aims to promote, foster and support the use of Free/Libre Open Source Software (F/LOSS) and Free File Formats for creative and educational purposes. During its first year of existence, the project has been particularly active in the fields of document production, software training, and technical support. As an emerging project of use of F/LOSS for creative and artistic purposes, specifically the support to 3D animation students’ projects, we intend to share what we’ve learned by discussing results and some of the changes we want to implement in the near future. The paper includes some core concepts and concerns underlying the project, together with an analysis of the achievements and difficulties, including prefered software packages and workflows and some ongoing students’ work as real case scenarios.
