| Abstract | PLATO is a computer-assisted instruction medium. It uses graphics, animation, response judging, and text presentation to present material and explain it to students. Tests and quizzes over the material record student progress for the instructor's use. Student activities recorded give valuable diagnostic feedback to the instructor concerning each student's weaknesses and those of the class as a whole. This information is tailored by the instructor to his needs and is completely current.Student operations are governed by a router which presents the curriculum selected by the instructor. S/he decides what order these lessons may be approached by the student and makes an index page for the student to see when s/he signs on.Each lesson contains several areas of study. These can be presented in a rigid sequence or with an index for selective use. Help sequences, review capability, and questions over the area are valuable to the student and to the instructor, who can pinpoint areas needing emphasis.The instructor decides what information is needed about student activities. A datafile collects the information selected and presents it. The instructor may check such factors as the number of hours each student has spent on the system and the number of lessons each has completed or attempted. Information may also be collected for individual questions: times attempted score, whether help requested. All these point out student needs to the instructor. |

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.
