Abstract | This paper presents our curriculum solution for handling some of the breadth in Information Technology (IT) education. Major topics like networking, web development, data management, and programming must be covered in a curriculum. Within each of these topics are many areas of specialization. The current trend in technical education is to begin with a breadth first approach and then specialize. This approach works to some extent for IT education but as the number of areas of specialization grow, curriculum design becomes more difficult. When combined with the student's individual desires for their own education, this problem could become unmanageable.Our solution developed a series of focus tracks that include specified courses and sets of specialization supporting courses that students can choose to refine their own educational path. The focus tracks reflect the major areas of IT training and industry need. The support electives are organized into themes that further refine training/skills within a focus track. Many of the support electives are taken from other allied disciplines within the university. This solution provides one method of covering the breadth of IT in a manageable manner. |

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.
