|-
|00:01
|Welcome to the '''spoken tutorial''' that explains the '''side-by-side method'''.
I am Kannan Moudgalya.

|-
|00:07
|In this tutorial, we will learn the following.

|-
|00:10
|We will learn, what is meant by the '''side-by-side method'''.

|-
|00:14
|We will find out, how the '''side-by-side method''' helps learn one '''command''' at a time.

|-
|00:20
|We will learn, how one can learn slowly or fast using spoken tutorials.

|-
|00:26
|We will learn, where the required material for a spoken tutorial is available.

|-
|00:32
|We will learn, how NOT to use spoken tutorials.

|-
|00:36
|We also have a message for workshop organizers.

|-
|00:41
|'Side-by-side method' is a technique that we have developed at '''IIT Bombay'''

|-
|00:47
|to help you learn a software by yourself, even if there is no expert to guide you.

|-
|00:54
|How can you do this?

|-
|00:56
|By learning one command at a time, from a spoken tutorial.

|-
|01:01
|What is meant by learning?

|-
|01:03
|Is it just watching a spoken tutorial?

|-
|01:08
|A big NO.

|-
|01:09
|Or is it just by listening to a spoken tutorial carefully?

|-
|01:13
|NO again.

|-
|01:14
|Learning comes from ...

|-
|01:16
|yes, you got it – by doing, ... by reproducing every command shown in the spoken tutorial.

|-
|01:24
|Can anyone reproduce every command shown in the tutorial?

|-
|01:29
|The answer is 'YES'.

|-
|01:31
|What makes me say this?

|-
|01:33
|This is because, we make spoken tutorials suitable for self learning.

|-
|01:39
|How do we do this?

|-
|01:41
|It is a long story.

|-
|01:42
|Let me just say that we have developed specific methods, for this purpose, at IIT Bombay.

|-
|01:49
|Spoken Tutorials are created for SELF  LEARNING.

|-
|01:52
|And hence, you can reproduce every command shown in Spoken Tutorials.

|-
|01:58
|What is the best way to reproduce every command?

|-
|02:02
|Let me demonstrate it.

|-
|02:04
|Let us go to http://spoken-tutorial.org

|-
|02:08
|Let us locate '''Scilab''' Spoken Tutorials.

|-
|02:14
|I will demonstrate with the Spoken Tutorial, called '''Vector Operations'''.

|-
|02:18
|I already located this video.

|-
|02:21
|Should I maximize the video?

|-
|02:23
|Once again, a big NO.

|-
|02:26
|In fact, you may make it smaller.

|-
|02:29
|I have already made it as small as possible.

|-
|02:33
|I will move the browser so as to take the video to one side of the screen.

|-
|02:43
|On the other side, let us open the software the video teaches.

|-
|02:49
|In this case, Scilab.

|-
|02:51
|Because Scilab is an open source software, we can do this.

|-
|02:56
|The Spoken Tutorial project does not promote commercial software.

|-
|03:00
|So, you can always download the software that you want to work with, free of cost.

|-
|03:05
|Should we maximize the software window?

|-
|03:08
|NO again.

|-
|03:09
|Instead, make it smaller and take it to the other side, as I have done.

|-
|03:15
|I have now opened the spoken tutorial and the software to learn, SIDE BY SIDE.

|-
|03:20
|What do we do next?

|-
|03:22
|Let us go to the next slide.

|-
|03:28
|'''Play''' the video.

|-
|03:29
|Listen to a command in the spoken tutorial.

|-
|03:32
|'''Pause''' the video.

|-
|03:34
|Try out the same command on the software.

|-
|03:37
|If the command works, listen to the next command.

|-
|03:41
|If it does not work, rewind the tutorial.

|-
|03:44
|Listen again, and try.

|-
|03:47
|Repeat.

|-
|03:49
|Let me demonstrate this using Scilab.

|-
|03:54
|Play Audio.

|-
|04:11
|Let us pause it.

|-
|04:15
|Let me reproduce this command on the Scilab software.

|-
|04:23
|p equals 1 2 3, close bracket.

|-
|04:32
|We get identical results, as in the video.

|-
|04:35
|But, hey, this is extremely boring.

|-
|04:37
|I hate listening to the video, doing nothing.

|-
|04:40
|It is also extremely slow.

|-
|04:42
|No problems.

|-
|04:43
|The spoken tutorial method allows you to practice slowly or fast.

|-
|04:48
|I will now explain, how you can learn fast.

|-
|04:51
|You can work on the software while simultaneously listening to the video.

|-
|04:57
|Let us listen to the next command and simultaneously try it out on the software.

|-
|05:03
|Let me press the '''Play''' button.

|-
|05:09
| Play Audio.

|-
|05:23 
|I paused the video.

|-
|05:32
|You saw me typing while listening to the video.

|-
|05:36
|This is ONE WAY to learn faster using spoken tutorials.

|-
|05:40
|Let me repeat.

|-
|05:41
|The spoken tutorial approach allows you to practice slowly or fast.

|-
|05:45
|Some times, it may be difficult to separate the software from video.

|-
|05:50
|One can use some overlapping positions, in this case.

|-
|05:54
|Let me show an example of this, in the next slide.

|-
|06:03
|This is a figure that I used in a book chapter that I wrote recently.

|-
|06:09
|You see a spoken tutorial on '''xfig''' and also the '''xfig''' software.

|-
|06:15
|Although there is an overlap, you can still see parts of it.

|-
|06:18
|You can also change positions and change the size as you proceed.

|-
|06:23
|Anything other than maximizing is permissible!

|-
|06:27
|We will now address one other requirement to produce all the steps.

|-
|06:32
|What happens if the spoken tutorial says 'open a file'?

|-
|06:37
|Without that file, learning will be ineffective – won't it?

|-
|06:41
|Don't worry – we make available every file used in a spoken tutorial.

|-
|06:47
|Because, without these, all steps of a spoken tutorial cannot be reproduced.

|-
|06:55
|I will now demonstrate this with an example.

|-
|07:00
|For this, let me open a C and C++ tutorial called '''tokens.'''

|-
|07:11
|I have already advanced it to the correct location.

|-
|07:15
|Let me play it now.

|-
|07:20
| Play Audio.

|-
|07:36
|Let me pause.

|-
|07:41
|The video says, open a file by name '''tokens.c'''

|-
|07:46
|Only if this file is made available, can all the steps be reproduced.

|-
|07:50
|Let us see whether this file is available on the web page.

|-
|07:55
|Let us bring the browser back fully, so that we can see all the links.

|-
|08:06
|Let us scroll down.

|-
|08:13
|Hey, here is a link called '''Code files.'''

|-
|08:16
|It seems to have the file ''''tokens.c''''.

|-
|08:21
|Let us check whether we can download it.

|-
|08:24
|Let me click this link.

|-
|08:27
|Learn behold, the file is ready to be saved.

|-
|08:31
|Let us not save it, however.

|-
|08:35
|I will leave it as an exercise to you.

|-
|08:38
|There could be minor differences in the way different operating systems behave.

|-
|08:43
|For example, the zip file may immediately download without your confirmation.

|-
|08:48
|In any case, be assured that all the required files will be available through such a link.

|-
|08:54
|What to do if Internet is not available to you?

|-
|08:57
|Don't worry.

|-
|08:58
|It is possible to create an '''image file''', for offline viewing.

|-
|09:02
|Let me show from where in the spoken tutorial web page you can create this '''image'''.

|-
|09:09
|It is in the next '''tab'''.

|-
|09:12
|As the browser is made very small, all the links are not visible.

|-
|09:16
|To see all the links, let me make the '''screen''' bigger.

|-
|09:21
|It is available at '''Software Training, Downloads, Create your own disk image.'''

|-
|09:33
|The zip file created through this facility also has all the associated files.

|-
|09:37
|In some rare cases, the required files may be missing.

|-
|09:41
|If this happens, we need your help to correct the problem.

|-
|09:44
|Let me show this on our web page.

|-
|09:47
|Let us make the screen smaller again.

|-
|09:51
|Let us go back to the previous tab.

|-
|09:56
|Let us scroll up.

|-
|09:59
|See the link called '''Report missing component.'''

|-
|10:03
|Please click this link and provide the required information.

|-
|10:08
|That's all friends.

|-
|10:09
|Let me go to the next slide.

|-
|10:12
|Let me summarize what we learnt in this tutorial.

|-
|10:16
|We learnt, what is meant by the '''side-by-side method'''.

|-
|10:20
|We have found out how the 'side-by-side method' helps learn one command at a time.

|-
|10:25
|We explained how one can learn slowly or fast using spoken tutorials.

|-
|10:31
|We learnt where all the required material for a spoken tutorial are available.

|-
|10:36
|We also learnt how not to use spoken tutorials.

|-
|10:40
|If you just watch a spoken tutorial, you do not get the full benefit.

|-
|10:45
|It is not at all a workshop.

|-
|10:47
|If an organizer tells you to watch a spoken tutorial, they are not doing their duty.

|-
|10:52
|Please follow the 'side-by-side method' as explained in this tutorial.

|-
|10:58
|I have a small assignment for you.

|-
|11:01
|Reproduce every step shown in this tutorial.

|-
|11:05
|Apply this method to a spoken tutorial on another topic.

|-
|11:08
|Spread the word that '''spoken tutorial''' helps a student learn by doing.

|-
|11:14
|This video summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project.

|-
|11:18
|If you do not have good bandwidth, you can download and watch it.

|-
|11:22
|We conduct workshops using spoken tutorials.

|-
|11:25
|Give certificates.

|-
|11:26
|Please contact us.
