Time Narration
00:01 Hello, Welcome to the spoken tutorial that explains about supplementary material.
00:08 In this tutorial we will learn how to use the components that come along with a spoken tutorial.
00:16 These are
00:18 Instruction sheet
00:20 Installation sheet
00:22 Code files
00:24 Assignment and
00:26 Additional reading material
00:30 This tutorial is recorded on
00:33 Ubuntu Linux 18.04 operating system and
00:38 Firefox web browser
00:41 You can use any OS or web browser of your choice.
00:46 Spoken Tutorial project promotes the teaching and learning of various FLOSS.
00:53 FLOSS stands for Free/Libre and Open Source Software.
00:59 All FLOSS taught using spoken tutorials are usually recorded on Ubuntu Linux OS.
01:07 But most Spoken Tutorials can be used on all operating systems.
01:14 Linux operating systems are free and open source.
01:19 Additionally, we use either Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers.
01:25 We recommend these web browsers instead of Internet Explorer, even on Windows OS.
01:33 Internet Explorer gives some display inconsistencies when playing spoken tutorials.
01:41 Hence it is not recommended to use it.
01:44 Open Firefox web browser and in the address bar type spoken hyphen tutorial dot org
01:53 The Homepage of Spoken Tutorial website opens.
01:58 I’ll show a demo on supplementary material available for a tutorial.
02:04 I’ll select the FOSS name as Arduino and the language as English.
02:10 Click on the Search button.
02:13 We can see the list of tutorials available in the Arduino series displayed here.
02:20 This is the recommended sequence for learning the topics on Arduino.
02:26 Ideally all learners should follow this sequence and not omit any topic.
02:32 Spoken tutorials are usually segregated into Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels.
02:39 This is based on the difficulty level of the topic.
02:43 However, some FLOSS series may have only 1 or 2 difficulty levels.
02:50 Come back to the Arduino page.
02:54 In Arduino, we have Basic level and Intermediate level tutorials.
03:00 Let me click on the topic “First Arduino Program”.
03:05 Below the video player, we can see links for Instruction and Installation sheet.
03:12 Before proceeding to learn any FLOSS, the learner must read the Instruction sheet.
03:18 Click on the Instruction sheet link.
03:21 This sheet contains information such as
03:24 How to download the spoken tutorials for offline learning
03:29 Procedure to practice the tutorials
03:33 General instructions about how to practise a tutorial using side-by-side method of learning
03:40 Which topic to start with and a few important things in some specific topics
03:47 How to save your work if you are using a lab computer
03:52 How to use the Code files and do the Assignments and
03:57 General instructions for Windows users, if any.
04:02 Here, tutorials that need Internet connection to download any package are also mentioned.
04:09 Switch back to the main window.
04:12 Next we will click on the Installation sheet link below the video player.
04:18 To install the software, follow the steps given in the Installation sheet.
04:24 In this sheet, follow the instructions to install the software for your OS.
04:33 Next we will see how to use Code files.

Switch back to the main window

04:39 Below the video player, on the right side you can see a link for Code files.
04:46 If you have a small screen, then scroll below the video player to see the Code files link.
04:54 Code files contain the source code that is used in that particular tutorial.
05:00 Click on the Code files link to download the zip file.
05:04 Locate the Code files zip file and extract the files on your machine.
05:10 Make a copy and use them while practising.
05:14 Let me show you a demo on an Ubuntu Linux machine.
05:19 Click on the Code files link below the video player.

A pop-up window opens.

05:26 Click on the Save file option and then click on the Ok button.
05:31 The Code files get saved in my Downloads folder as a zip file.
05:37 Right-click on the file and select Extract here to extract the files.
05:43 Double-click and open the extracted folder.
05:47 Locate the code file BlinkLED.txt and click once on it.
05:54 Make a copy by pressing Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V keys.
06:01 Name the copy as BlinkLED hyphen copy dot txt or any other name of your choice.
06:10 Now, open the code file BlinkLED hyphen copy dot txt in any text editor of your choice.
06:18 This is the source code that we have explained in the tutorial “First Arduino Program”
06:25 You are expected to practice the same code in Arduino IDE.
06:31 Copy the code.
06:33 Open the Arduino IDE.
06:37 Paste the code.
06:40 Now compile and run the code as explained in the tutorial, to see the output.
06:47 It will work as we have demonstrated in the tutorial.
06:52 Feel free to modify the code, with different values or with new instructions.
06:58 At any time, if you encounter any error, then discard the copied file.
07:04 Make a fresh copy and modify the code as per your requirement.
07:11 Next let us learn how to use the Additional reading material link.
07:17 Below the Code files link, we can see a link named as Additional reading material.
07:24 It includes extra information about either the commands or components or some detailed explanation OR
07:35 information about common errors and their solutions.
07:40 Let me show a demo.
07:43 At 4:45 of the topic “First Arduino Program”, we have specified an error.
07:51 “You may get an error while uploading” is the error we have mentioned.
07:56 How will you resolve this error while practicing?
08:00 We have asked to refer to the Additional reading material link for solutions.
08:06 Let us check this.
08:07 Click on Additional reading material link below the video player.
08:12 The file will open in a new page.
08:15 Read the instructions carefully and rectify the error by yourself.
08:21 Next we will learn about Assignments.
08:25 Switch back to the main window
08:28 Below the video player, on the right side you can see the link for Assignment.
08:35 Click on that link.
08:37 Follow the instructions given in the Assignment and practice by yourself.
08:43 This will help you to become more fluent with the topic.
08:47 Please note: Assignments are given only for your self-assessment.

You are not required to submit these anywhere.

08:57 That’s all we have in this tutorial. Let us summarize.
09:02 In this tutorial we learnt about various components that accompany a spoken tutorial.
09:09 These are Instruction sheet, Installation sheet, Code files, Assignment and Additional reading material
09:18 The video at the following link, summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project.

Please download and watch it.

09:26 The Spoken Tutorial Project Team conducts workshops and gives certificates.

For more details, please write to us.

09:35 The Spoken Tutorial Project is funded by MHRD, Government of India.
09:41 This script has been contributed by Nancy and Nirmala Venkat.
