Dear Mohit, Got your contact from Guru of IT for Change. So glad to make your acquaintance.
Let me jump right into the details - We are into teaching various Open Source software such as Linux, LaTeX, Scilab etc. through our amazing Spoken Tutorial videos.* One can learn quit simply even *Python, PHP & MySQL, Libre Office etc.via an easy self-learning Video tool - Spoken Tutorials. Once the individual gets started he/she can master the FOSS ! The audience is UGs, PGs, Res. Scholars, even Teachers..of the Sciences, IT, Engg. disciplines. You can imagine how much people are charging and our students are paying to learn these courses. And we run these courses for free ! How Come ? We are part of the National Mission on Education through ICT, MHRD, Govt of India..and are working to promote this all over India. It is our duty and pleasure. Towards this effort we look for leads or contacts of Faculty or Students from various colleges. And of course your dept. By the way, our workshops are for 2 hours only. Some details are given below, the students do not need to leave the college. We will conduct the training remotely via Skype, a video conferencing tool...*the date is one which is convenient to the college. *Typically, the workshop at a college is of around 2 hours duration. They will need a computer lab with around 30 odd machines, for additional participants laptops if available can be used. The main organiser's computer needs a webcam via which we can monitor the workshop. On a convenient day participants take an assessment test and on clearing it get certificates from IIT Bombay. The test is basic and we have mostly 100% of the participants clearing it. *There are benefits for all ! *Participants of course benefit. Student coordinators get a special certificate, honorarium and a T-shirt ! More importantly, they develop Event management and Project management skills. *All of the above mean a big deal to students for their career with recruiters and at PG interviews. * Net it is a win-win situation for all and the best part all the workshops are conducted FREE of cost. We are having a very good experience with colleges across the length and breadth of India with this format. They start with one and move to cover more batches, more departments, the different FOSS....All working together to Bridge the Digital Divide in our nation. For more info do write or call.
