=== 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.
# IIT Bombay program is an initiative by NMEICT MHRD Govt. of India to provide platform where learners can acquire required knowledge and skills, to enhance their employability and career enhancement if they are already working.
# We offer over 75 courses focused to ensure that individual learners can learn these courses without any domain expert in a self- learning mode, in their own space, time and convenience.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 5819689 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. School children can learn Basic Computer skills in English, Hindi or their Mother tongue. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member/Teacher can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE, Depts. Of School Eduction, Govt. Skill Bodies/Centres an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodies can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

Nancy varkey: /* Software Offered */

=== 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.
# IIT Bombay program is an initiative by NMEICT MHRD Govt. of India to provide platform where learners can acquire required knowledge and skills, to enhance their employability and career enhancement if they are already working.
# We offer over 75 courses focused to ensure that individual learners can learn these courses without any domain expert in a self- learning mode, in their own space, time and convenience.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member/Teacher can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE, Depts. Of School Eduction, Govt. Skill Bodies/Centres an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodies can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== 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.
# IIT Bombay program is an initiative by NMEICT MHRD Govt. of India to provide platform where learners can acquire required knowledge and skills, to enhance their employability and career enhancement if they are already working.
# We offer over 75 courses focused to ensure that individual learners can learn these courses without any domain expert in a self- learning mode, in their own space, time and convenience.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 5819689 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. School children can learn Basic Computer skills in English, Hindi or their Mother tongue. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member/Teacher can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE, Depts. Of School Eduction, Govt. Skill Bodies/Centres an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodies can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== How to conduct Training / Workshops ===

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== How to conduct Training / Workshops ===

Nancy varkey: /* Contacts for Training exclusively for Schools */

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

Nancy varkey: /* NO CERTIFICATES */

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== Summer Faculty Development and Training programs ===

We are very eager to work together. The scope is limitless......many departments doing many trainings, the relevant Spoken Tutorials being recommended within the curriculum, exciting summer Faculty and PG learning programs on LaTeX & Scilab. And even Linux and Libre Office for all the Admin. staff.

So just make plans and we will be with you every step of the way......a few Faculty and Officers who will act as organizers/ coordinators can fix a 2 hour training date on any Software and make a request on our website for the same. That's the way to get started. ( '''Click here''' '''[[Media: E-brochure.pdf | E-Brochure]]''' )

# Spoken Tutorial Project, IIT Bombay Certificates will be issued to all the faculty members who take test in the Spoken Tutorial FDP.
# Guidance is provided by the team at IIT Bombay.

Process and useful links: First the organizers create a login ID and then can access all the needed forms like requesting for training.
and if you're are already registered as "Organizer" then requesting for FDP is just a click away.

'''Note''': In Master Batch select Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) from the Department dropdown only while doing FDP for faculty.

Software-Training

Nancy varkey: /* Software Offered */

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

Software-Training

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Progress To Date ===

The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions- Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. Offices and some Corporates. To date, around 4965000 students and teachers from all states of India, have taken this Software training. Students from rural places have also benefited from this training. Students are using Linux, Python, PHP & MySQL, C/C++, Java and Scilab in their curriculum. Several colleges are going for Lab Migration, which is switching from Matlab (proprietary) to Scilab. Academia is using LaTeX the de facto standard for technical writing. We have dedicated colleges acting as RESOURCE centers in all states of India.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.

Software-Training

Nancy varkey: /* Software Offered */

=== About E-Tutor Trainings ===
'''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. The salient features of trainings are many. See Below:
# To come into the program a college has to pay Rs.25000/ as a user fee to train students on any number of courses with Certificates.
# This distance education method is highly conducive to learn on your own campus.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS 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 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 over Skype, in such cases the main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the Training and answer questions.
# If the participants wish to take the test they must do so a month after the Training.

''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.

=== Be a Part of the Spoken Tutorial Project ===

The Spoken Tutorial Project-IIT Bombay, welcomes one and all to be part of an IT revolution and contribute to spread awareness amongst students, teachers and other individuals of society. You can contribute as a -
# Training Organiser
# Training RESOURCE Center
# Training Partner

'''1. Training Organiser:-'''

Any Staff/Officer/Faculty member can be an organiser for the training. They make the first contact with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay. As mentioned, Organisers need not know the Software to be taught in the Training/Workshop. The Organiser will arrange the computer lab and coordinate with students to fix a date and time for the first training. He/She will be in touch with the Spoken Tutorial team, IIT Bombay, on a regular basis to ensure that the training is successfully completed. It is recommended for almost all students in the college to get a chance to take the training. For this, the Organiser should identify faculties from other departments to register and start requesting training sessions. A calender or time table should be made to plan training and tests for maximum departmental coverage.

'''2. Training RESOURCE Center'''

Any College / University which wishes to contribute towards IT literacy and awareness can become a RESOURCE ('''R'''obust '''E'''xtensions for '''S'''poken Tutorial project on '''O'''pen Source Software '''U'''sage for '''R'''ecruitment, '''C'''ommunity and '''E'''ducation) Center. A RESOURCE Center can conduct remote workshops in its college, for other colleges and can also train other colleges and schools in conducting Spoken Tutorial training. It can identify training Organisers in Polytechnic, ITI and degree colleges, in and around its district. A RESOURCE Center can create a team of students and faculty members who will work to motivate the colleges to do this software training. '''F'''aculty '''R'''esource '''P'''ersons from various places in India are already actively bringing in new colleges.
'''[[Media: List_of_Faculty_Resource_Persons.pdf |Click here to see the list]]'''. In this way, the project can be spread and awareness created in the entire state. Additionally it is expected that the RESOURCE Center will train all its students as well incorporate the Software courses in the curriculum where relevant.

A RESOURCE Center will be awarded an Appreciation Letter from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay. RESOURCE Centers can mention that they are authorised RESOURCE Centers of Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay on their website and in their advertisements.

'''3. Training Partner'''

These are universities and government bodies at state level such as DTE, CET, DET, DHE, VIT, DCE an so on. At their level and because they have a large circle of influence, such bodied can spread Spoken Tutorial based software training in a big way by Awareness - Circulars, Enabling - arranging training and appointing officers at regional/ zonal level, Monitoring - continuously motivating and urging the colleges to come forward and do the Training on their campuses.
