| Abstract | What does one do when a "net generation" of computer literate and computer sophisticated students arrive at the gates of institutions? What is the commensurate ability of faculty? This paper considers the revolutionary socio-cultural transformations created by e-learning in the manner knowledge is generated, organized, retrieved, managed and purveyed across the boundaries of different cultures. Proposals have been forthcoming to reform teaching and learning and make it compatible with the new competitive telecommunications environment. The architecture, diversity and apparent contradictions between these proposals render the public policy dialog scattered and confused. Within this context this paper considers the identity, variety and destiny in productive e-learning with specific reference to desired learning outcomes and introduces the idea of a 'virtual space' delineated by two dimensions---'learning experience, namely, face to face intervention' and 'geographical space". These lay out the contours of the emerging intellectual landscape by placing past practices as well as present proposals on the same conceptual plane. The current approach to universal education continues to be bound by the self-imposed limitations of past regulations and that a heterogeneous universal educational policy is likely to be more suited to the new e-learning environment. Undoubtedly, effective learning through e-learning has become an issue of major discussions. As a result a set of vocabulary associated with lifelong learning is being developed to accommodate learning outcomes associated with e-learning. Having identified issues surrounding productive e-learning, desired learning outcomes are then presented. The two questions bearing on educational institutions are: how will these changes affect the institutions' academic mission and conduct? And secondly, how would institutions react to these changes? Finally, student motivation in terms of hierarchy of needs is considered in the light learning outcomes. |

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.
