Abstract :
Conventionally, we have taught computer literacy using MS-Office. However, the license cost of MS-Office increased about 2.5 times since we renewed our license. Then, we have built the computer literacy educational environment using Open Office, in order to reduce the license cost. In this paper we reported on this work of building the new environment and some associated problems. We also reported on the evaluation of this environment by questionnaire.
