Hi all
Prof Kannan.M , IIT-B was here in Bangalore for three days from sept 13th to sept 15th 2010 for conducting workshop on scilab http://scilab.in/node/322
Apart from this workshop he shared few of the projects going on like The Spoken Tutorial project is the initiative of the *"Talk to a Teacher* " project of the *National Mission on Education* through *ICT*, launched by *MHRD, Govt of India.*
Here are the details of the project which he was talking about , many might already know http://spoken-tutorial.org/
There are many tutorials developed like http://spoken-tutorial.org/node/169

Prof kannan suggested and also appealed to participate actively in the project and also gave the details about he incentives for creating such tutorials. those who are interested can go through the links here

There are some issues about the softwares being used for creating tutorials and the format of the files currently that are done, which will be sorted out soon ( this mail is not about that )
I personally feel that this is a great opportunity not to be missed
I am writing to all my known contact , kindly forward to all of your known contacts ( in and around bangalore ) and we shall meet face to face and discuss and collaborate to help in making the project very successful. People from other places outside Bangalore can also join if they wish, but for now the meeting is in Bangalore.
Also suggest a date for meeting , meanwhile we can also keep discussing about the project on the list
I wish you all to give your comments / suggestions after looking into the details of the project once in detail
