We had the opportunity of meeting the participants at the Blender workshop held at IGNOU recently. We were delighted to see that even end of Day 1, the participants were able to draw basic 3D shapes like a table and chair, etc.

Interacting with the participants and instructors revealed that the reason for this very high success rate was that the participants had been given the opportunity to study from the Spoken Tutorials for Blender before the workshop itself.

In all, I understand that the workshop at IGNOU was extremely successful. I have recommended that many more such Blender workshops should be held all over India based on the Spoken Tutorials for Blender already available.

I am a 3rd Year B.Tech student from I.T.E.R, Bhubaneswar and I have already gone through the Ubuntu-Linux course. I would be going for more courses in the near future. During the course I found it very interesting to learn from a video which has well structured slides as well as practical videos of the commands in action compared to any regular lecture.

Apart from that we have every flexibility to play, pause, rewind and forward the video. I believe this is easy to take any course from your portal for almost any category of student. I further believe that if this program is promoted in every efficient way among different students related to this background then any course won't be anymore 'jargon' to them.

I have already told many of my friends in different institutes like SILICON, GITA, IIIT, OEC, NIST and KEC in Odisha. Now I want to spread the spark in a organized way.

It is our pleasure indeed, to be associated with this unique initiative taken by IIT Bombay. The support from your team is exemplary, and the entire workshop went on to completion smoothly, with your valuable inputs.

The content of the workshop is very informative, and our students immensely enjoyed the session. I wish to thank you on the behalf of my students for providing us an opportunity to be a part of this revolutionary idea called the Spoken Tutorial.

We look forward to conducting the complete series of workshops, and the certificates too for the maximum benefit of our students and the staff. I shall share the idea with my colleagues in other departments and with my friends in other colleges as well, and it shall be my privilege to contribute to this noble cause.

I would like to appreciate you and your team for the effort that have been put for the society by making spoken tutorial. When you shared your experience with Marathwada Institute of Technology at that time I was thinking about the difficulties that I had faced during my school days as a student from a poor village family.

I am sure those tutorials will definitely help the students from rural India for easy learning of computer programming. I am working with Free software movement since 2008 and working in Fluent and ANSYS for the past 2 years, even though literally I was unaware of the open source version of fluent until you told.

Also I would like to participate in any kind of basic workshop on Python using spoken tutorial in coming days.
