IIT Bombay has started its Spoken Tutorial Project. The initiative is sponsored by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. You can participate in the training in two ways: online and offline. The ESSCI will facilitate the Spoken Tutorial Assessment and participants can apply for the Certificate either online or offline. A Nodal agency of ESSCI called Virtuality has made the project known to a large number of people, including students, who are interested in taking part.
WIN Foundation
The WIN Foundation has been involved in community-level nutrition training projects and has used Spoken Tutorial to teach residents how to make nutritious food. The foundation is also working with the Child Nutrition Lab at IIT Bombay to provide local communities with nutritive recipes. This program has the potential to help millions of people learn about healthy cooking and eating habits, and improve their livelihoods.
IIT Bombay
Spoken Tutorial is an audio-video educational content platform supported by the NMEICT, IIT Bombay. It enables participants to learn various free software through spoken lessons. The project is a collaborative effort between IIT Bombay and Rajiv Gandhi University. There are several certification courses offered each semester.
Besides creating self-learning resources, Spoken Tutorial also provides training to health workers in rural areas. It aims to train as many health workers as possible. Currently, the group is working on a series on breastfeeding and a series on nutrition. The videos will be used by over 12,000 health workers in rural areas for training.
Spoken Tutorial
The Spoken Tutorial is a new way to learn English language skills. Students can join the tutorial at their own pace, and once they complete the training, they will receive a Certificate of Completion. It is designed to address the language barriers that disadvantaged groups face in learning the language. This innovative new way to learn will eventually be used by 7 million learners in more than 6000 schools around the world.
This innovative technology is developed by Professor Kannan Moudgalya of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. It was created with the support of the Government of India to train people in rural areas. India is facing a dire need to educate millions of youth in the digital economy, and Spoken Tutorials are one way to accomplish that.

Perl
Perl is a scripting language developed by Larry Wall. It was first introduced in 1987 and is one of the most widely used open-source programming languages today. It has many powerful text-processing facilities and borrows many features from other programming languages. It gained popularity in the late 1990s as a CGI scripting language, thanks to its powerful parsing abilities.
The Spoken Tutorial project is funded by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD). It focuses on e-learning IT courses based on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). It aims to increase the level of IT literacy, improve employment prospects, and enhance student engagement in the classroom.
