Abstract | Distance education strives to provide a rich, near-classroom experience to non-classroom students. Studies of the many facets of distance education have become increasingly common [21][2][22], and within recent years many universities have experimented with various formats in an effort to determine their effectiveness. Some studies have developed frameworks for discussion of appropriate tools and techniques [10], while others have provided us with more detailed guides for implementation and evaluation.[7].Today most distance education techniques tend to be asynchronous. The idea behind course management systems, archived resources, discussion lists and the like is to provide an environment in which the distant student can gain an education on an "any time, any place" basis. Live streaming video and video on demand techniques can play an important role in this process. Of important note, many of the tools are also applicable in traditional settings.There are also an increasing number of tools and techniques designed to support distributed learning activities in real time (synchronous) settings. Certainly the past evolution of telephony-based support services has proved to be a harbinger of the importance of synchronous techniques -- so much so that the use of Web meeting spaces, video over Internet protocol (hereafter referred to as 'IP'), and networked collaboration tools have begun to evolve noticeably. Data collaboration tools may be among the most important of these. As above, many of these techniques are also applicable in traditional settings.Little summative work appears to have been done regarding the role these technologies play in teaching and learning innovation. This paper includes a discussion of the nature of innovation, along with a comparison of synchronous and asynchronous techniques within the context of disruptive technologies; a framework that can be used for synchronous/asynchronous comparative analyses; and the results of the experiences of the authors as they applied these technologies to classroom settings. |

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.
