| Abstract | Our research was conducted within a larger HIV and AIDS counseling project in the southern part of Tanzania. We spent six months creating a pilot version of an interactive digital platform that would allow learners to share their experiences with the disease. The platform, called Sura ya UKIMWI (The Face of AIDS), was designed by a team consisting of secondary school children, university counseling students, HIV counseling experts and experts in ICT. We took the case study approach and report on observations and experiences with the participatory design (PD) process and its outcomes, in this specific context. The results of the project indicate that the technology created under the PD paradigm helps students to easily compose their own stories thereby supporting their understanding and reflection on how these stories relate to their own life experiences. Interacting with the stories was entertaining to the students and they could identify the lessons to be learned. The approach can be an alternative to past attempts that mostly imported technology for HIV and AIDS education. Our experience can be used as a guide in establishing similar digital projects in other parts of the HIV and AIDS affected world. |

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.
