Spoken Tutorial is an educational content portal. Here one can learn various Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) all by oneself. Our self-paced, multi-lingual courses ensure that anybody with a computer and a desire for learning can learn from any place, at any time and in a language of their choice.

The main objective of this project is to promote IT literacy for education and improve the employment potential of learners in India, using free and open source software (FOSS). ICT is an important area that provides jobs to a large number of our students. Software creation, electronic design automation (IC design), numerical computing, and modelling and simulation are some of the ICT areas. It aims to pass on the knowledge of technology and FOSS to the millions in our country, who lack opportunities and/or access to learn any software.

This project is for the community and by the community. The target group is the community at large, including school children, college students, working professionals, retired professionals, housewives, teachers, trainers, research scholars, software users and developers.

The learning method in the program is active learning on computer systems and suited for remote/distance education. Engaging digital content of the program ensures that learning happens at all levels - Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. The content mandates side-by-side practice thereby ensuring that learners are actively learning.

The audio of Spoken Tutorials courses is available in all 22 official languages of India, while the video will always be in English. The program promotes translation of these tutorials into different languages. This helps those learners who are not fluent with English to learn software in a language of their choice, thereby increasing their concept clarity.

End-of-Course online tests and certificates are available for those who wish to test their expertise in particular software. These certificates give an edge to students during placement by increasing their employability potential.

Plan 1 (College Level) and Plan 2 (School Level), both are valid for 1 year.

Once VLEs purchase any plan, then they will get access to Spoken tutorial dashboard, where they can register any number of students and they can charge any amount to the students. There will not be any CSC commission in the same.

VLEs CSC Academy centres will act as the proctored examination centres for the courses.

An online test is conducted for assessment of the course.

Duration of the test will be between 20¬–45 minutes, depending on the FOSS selected for the test.

User will be able to view the certificate only on scoring 40% or above. Thus 40% is the minimum percentile required for clearing the test and attaining the certificate

Participants, who don't pass in the test, will get a chance to re-attempt the Test after a gap of 15 days
