Abstract | We present Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) as a context for computing education. GEOINT is a rich source of ideas for programming projects, algorithm design and use of databases. Students are interested in GEOINT due to its inherently visual subject matter and its strong ties with crime, espionage and social changes and upheavals. In short we are motivating computation as a subject that can provide solutions and insights into crime mysteries and complex events that unfold over time and space. In addition to keeping Computer Science majors interested, we also seek to attract students of other disciplines into computing. GEOINT and computing knowledge can provide initial preparation for certain jobs that are in demand and also for graduate school. Our assignments and programming projects that are inspired by GEOINT can be used in an introductory programming course or a more advanced course. These materials derive from well known case studies and also fundamentals concepts in computing. Some programming projects are based on exploration of chronologies and timelines as tools that enable the geographical display of information as an order sequence of events. In general these geospatial displays can correlate information to help correct for possible gaps and inconsistencies in knowledge. These materials use multiple layered techniques of presenting information that use time, geographical location, weather conditions and static features of the earth's surface. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
