About Training/Workshops using the Spoken Tutorial E-Tutor
The Spoken Tutorial Project is about teaching and learning a particular FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) like Linux, Scilab, LaTeX, PHP & MySQL, Java, C/C++, LibreOffice etc. via an easy Video tool - Spoken Tutorials Google award winning MOOC. The salient features of training are many. See Below: Students, Staff & Teachers from Schools, Colleges, Universities, Polytechnics, ITIs, Skill centers, NGOs – all can avail the training at very low cost. The method is Active learning on Computer systems and very suited for Remote/Distance Education. Teachers & students can master the software courses on their own, in their own campus and at their own time. Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the Software Course and also get Certificates. UG, PG or Research scholar students and even teachers of Science, IT, Engineering, Commerce, Management, MCA disciplines can learn any of the FOSS. Typically, the first Training at any college is of 2 hours duration. Timing is per the group's convenience. As a first step, the organiser typically a Faculty member/Teacher must register on the Spoken Tutorial site and become authorised to request and conduct training in his/her college. Any college which is organising the Training needs to get a computer lab ready with machines that support sound. There is no lower or upper limit on the number of participants. This just depends on the number of computers available. For additional participants, laptops if available can be used. Support from IIT Bombay is available 24x7 through phone, message & e-mail. It is recommended that learners take the Online Assessment Test within 4 to 6 weeks after the 1st training session. The cost is Rs.500+GST/per course for Faculty/Teachers and Rs.200+GST/per course for students (except school students). Bulk group discounts and Institute level Subscription payment models can also be considered after the institute starts the training with a group of learners.
The organiser can also identify student volunteers to publicise and help with the Training. Students have a lot of energy and are very enthusiastic about such activities. Student volunteers get a special certificate, and a T-shirt! They also develop Event management and Project coordination skills. .
All of the above mean a big deal to students for their career with recruiters and at PG interviews.
Today, SMEs and Govt. departments are moving to Open Source Software like Linux OS. Students with this knowledge will have an edge in the job market. They can also become entrepreneurs and use Open Source Software in their businesses, and save money vs., if they were using commercial software.Net - it is a win-win situation for all. We are having a very good experience with colleges across the length and breadth of India with this format. They start with one and move to cover more batches, more departments, different FOSS series....All working together to Bridge the Digital Divide in our nation.About Individual Learning Workshop (ILM) Individual Learners interested to avail software training in Open source and Certificates from IIT Bombay ST program, can join in the program.
