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 organisers. |
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 maximise 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 maximise 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 practise 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 practise 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 maximising 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 summarise 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 organiser 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. |
11:28 | The Spoken Tutorial Project is funded by NMEICT, MHRD, Government of India |
11:34 | Thanks for joining. Goodbye. |
