Students Say’s About Our University
"In my college, one of the students in BTech 3rd year 1st sem was having a makeup exam and and he was looking for guidance in learning Java. We gave the spoken-tutorial CD material on Java, and gave explanation on the contents of the CD. After the exam he came and told that the spoken tutorial CD on java helped him a lot and that he developed confidence in Java by going thru all the tutorials and doing the assignments. He also told that the video tutorials cleared most of his doubts on java and helped him in passing the makeup exam."

"GIMP & INKSCAPE were programmes that aimed at teaching students advanced computer skills. We are very grateful to Spoken Tutorials for connecting with VIDYA and helping us impact the lives of these students, by providing them these opportunities, which otherwise they would not have had access to."
Manisha Ahuja

"We, VIDYA Computer Learning & Resource Center (CLRC), have partnered with Spoken Tutorial since 2 years now. Most of the VIDYA's trainers have learnt GIMP & Inkscape. Inkscape is extremely useful to us and we have become very proficient in poster-making and creating colourful awareness & class decor posters. "

"As I had no knowledge about Python I just tried the tutorial of IITB which you gave me. I have to tell you the clarity and detail they explain each topic. We cannot deny that the Internet has many tutorials. But I felt this was the best. I shared this tutorial with my other project members. They just loved it. In the course of time you wouldn’t believe the whole class is using this tutorial. I am really feeling proud to be an Indian and your student. I really understood what open source means."

Excellent and highly useful!"

"Spoken Tutorials opened the big door of open source tools and software learning in our institution. Our students are now comfortable with Linux OS. They have benefited from tutorials for Java, C/C++, Shell Programming etc. to a great extent. They are confident to use LaTeX, the defacto standard for technical documentation for reporting their project work."

"Spoken Tutorial is very useful for the students. We conducted tutorials on Java. Most of the students were not interested in programming earlier. When we started the training, it seemed that their interest got increased. As it is an audio-video tutorial, with each step described and its output at each stage, it makes the subject more easy to understand for students."
Asha Sukumaran
Lecturer, Women Polytechnic College, Kayamkulam, Kerala
"Spoken Tutorial is a very easy and efficient way to learn software. I strongly recommend all colleges to teach their students using the materials of Spoken Tutorial. We would like to continue with Spoken Tutorial in every academic year to teach our students."

"The students from different branches and various years opted for the courses such as C, C++, Java, Scilab, Python, K-CAD, Q-CAD, OSCAD, etc. These value added courses are highly appreciated during their placement. The course reaches each and every student personally to enhance their programming skill which is the need of the day."

"More than 70 of the 88 placed students feel that this Spoken Tutorial training helped them to be well-equipped for the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) campus recruitment. So we are planning on encouraging all our students to be a part of this project, to make them stronger in their programming language skills and we have determined to plan the Training sessions through the regular lab hours for the relevant courses in a systematic way starting from this academic year and continue thereon."

"Spoken Tutorial courses are simple and short. Though these courses are complete they are concise. Honestly, these courses are a revolution in education. I recommend that educationists should take note of these courses and implement similar systems."

"Really like how this project helps us to learn at our own pace. We organised an event in our college named SAKEC-ST in which, we offered around 7 FOSS categories and every student took part in 2-3 FOSS workshops. This event was a big hit. Students actually learnt a lot of things which weren't covered in the syllabus and also got a certificate."
Adesh Shah

"I feel privileged to be the part of your FOSS team in organizing the workshops and online tests. The effort that you people have put in to build the whole FOSS is overwhelming.The course-ware is organized so very simple that even First Degree students from remote places can understand and implement it. Online tests were also structured excellently well."

"The best part was the spoken tutorials helped them get ready with the installation, interface and utilities of Blender before the physical workshop in the IGNOU campus."
Prof. Uma Kanjilal
Director I/c IGNOU's Adv. Centre for Informatics & Innovative Learning
"Interacting with the participants and instructors revealed that the reason for this very high success rate was that the participants had been given the opportunity to study from the Spoken tutorials for Blender before the workshop itself."
Prof. Pradeep Varma

"Importantly (by learning LaTeX), students are more benefited through such workshops as this software is useful in their academic activities like designing seminar reports, final year project report, generating PDF file which is more attractive in appearance compared to MS Office document."
