About spoken tutorial project

Spoken Tutorial project promotes the teaching and learning of various FLOSS.

FLOSS stands for Free/Libre and Open Source Software.

All FLOSS taught using spoken tutorials are usually recorded on Ubuntu Linux OS.

But most Spoken Tutorials can be used on all operating systems.

Linux operating systems are free and open source.

Open Firefox web browser.

Type spoken-tutorial.org

Open Firefox web browser and in the address bar type spoken-tutorial.org
Show the web page The Homepage of Spoken Tutorial website opens.
I’ll show a demo on supplementary material available for a tutorial.
Spoken Tutorial webpage. I’ll select the FOSS name as Arduino and the language as English.

Click on the Search button.

Point to the tutorials We can see the list of tutorials available in the Arduino series displayed here.

This is the recommended sequence for learning the topics on Arduino.

Ideally all learners should follow this sequence and not omit any topic.

Slide: Difficulty levels
  • Spoken tutorials are usually segregated into Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels.
  • This is based on the difficulty level of the topic.

This is based on the difficulty level of the topic.

Slide: Difficulty levels
  • However, some FLOSS series may have only 1 or 2 levels
However, some FLOSS series may have only 1 or 2 difficulty levels.
Back to the Arduino page.

Scroll down and highlight Basic level and Intermediate level on the page

Come back to the Arduino page.

In Arduino, we have Basic level and Intermediate level tutorials.

Click on the “First Arduino Program”. Let me click on the topic “First Arduino Program”.
Highlight prominently the links for Instruction sheet and Installation sheet. Below the video player, we can see links for Instruction and Installation sheet.

Before proceeding to learn any FLOSS, the learner must read the Instruction sheet.

Click on the Instruction sheet link. Click on the Instruction sheet link.
Slowly scroll the Instruction sheet.

Point and highlight according to narration-

  • 1. Online / Offline content
  • 2. The procedure to practise
  • 3. Side-by-side learning video
  • 4. First tutorial: Overview of Arduino
  • Scroll through the other topics slowly
  • 9.1 Instructions to practise
  • 9.2 Common instructions for Assignments
  • 9.3 Common instructions to use Code files
  • Scroll through the other topics slowly
  • 13. General instructions for Windows users
This sheet contains information such as
  • How to download the spoken tutorials for offline learning
  • Procedure to practice the tutorials
  • General instructions about how to practise a tutorial using side-by-side method of learning
  • Which topic to start with and a few important things in some specific topics
  • How to save your work if you are using a lab computer
  • How to use the Code files and do the Assignments and
  • General instructions for Windows users, if any.

Here, tutorials that need Internet connection to download any package are also mentioned.

Switch back to the main window. Switch back to the main window.
Click on the Installation sheet Next we will click on the Installation sheet link below the video player.
Point to the Installation sheet To install the software, follow the steps given in the Installation sheet.

In this sheet, follow the instructions to install the software for your OS.

Next we will see how to use Code files.

Switch back to the main window

Point to the code files link

Click on the code files link.

Below the video player, on the right side you can see a link for Code files.

If you have a small screen, then scroll below the video player to see the Code files link.

Slide 5:

Code files

* Code files contain the source code that is used in that particular tutorial.
  • Click on the Code files link to download the zip file.
  • Locate the Code files zip file and extract the files on your machine.
  • Make a copy and use them while practising.
Let me show you a demo on an Ubuntu Linux machine.

Click on the Code files link below the video player.

Click on save file option A pop-up window opens.

Click on the Save file option and then click on the Ok button.

Point to the Downloads folder

Right click>> Extract here

The Code files get saved in my Downloads folder as a zip file.

Right-click on the file and select Extract here to extract the files.

Double-click and open the extracted folder.
Locate the code file BlinkLED.txt and click once on it.

Make a copy by pressing Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V keys.

Name the copy as BlinkLED-copy.txt or any other name of your choice.

Open the code file BlinkLED.txt Now, open the code file BlinkLED-copy.txt in any text editor of your choice.

This is the source code that we have explained in the tutorial “First Arduino Program”

You are expected to practice the same code in Arduino IDE.

Copy the code.

Open the Arduino IDE.

Paste the code.

Copy the code.

Open the Arduino IDE.

Paste the code.

Compile and run the code Now compile and run the code as explained in the tutorial, to see the output.

It will work as we have demonstrated in the tutorial.

Modify any one value in the code >> Save >> Compile and run Feel free to modify the code, with different values or with new instructions.
Switch to the folder

Make another copy and name it BlinkLED-2.txt

At any time, if you encounter any error, then discard the copied file.

Make a fresh copy and modify the code as per your requirement.

Next let us learn how to use the Additional reading material link.
Point to the link Additional reading material. Below the Code files link, we can see a link named as Additional reading material.
Slide 6:

Additional reading material

It includes
  • extra information about either the commands or components or some detailed explanation OR
  • information about common errors and their solutions.
Let me show a demo.
Point to the video At 4:45 of the topic “First Arduino Program”, we have specified an error.

“You may get an error while uploading” is the error we have mentioned.

How will you resolve this error while practicing?

We have asked to refer to the Additional reading material link for solutions.

Click on Additional reading material link Let us check this.

Click on Additional reading material link below the video player.

Show the page The file will open in a new page.

Read the instructions carefully and rectify the error by yourself.

Next we will learn about Assignments.

Switch back to the main window

Point to the assignment link Below the video player, on the right side you can see the link for Assignment.
Click on the link. Click on that link.
Point to the instruction Follow the instructions given in the Assignment and practice by yourself.

This will help you to become more fluent with the topic.
