| Abstract | Advances in multimedia capture, analysis and delivery, combined with the rapid adoption of broadband communication, have resulted in multimedia systems that have advanced traditional forms of education. Research in these areas has achieved impressive results in the last few years and many actual working systems and commercial products are now routinely used by a growing number of people. However, the various web sites and lecture videos produced as part of the "e-learning hype" generally do not exploit the full potential of multimedia. The question of how multimedia can really make learning more exploratory and enjoyable is as yet unanswered, and we are just beginning to understand the real contribution of multimedia to education. In addition, new trends in multimedia technology - such as multimedia on handheld devices or advanced approaches for the automatic analysis of multimodal signals -- offer novel and exciting opportunities for teaching and learning. The growing pervasiveness of multimedia on computing devices also increases the relevance of knowledge about multimedia for computer scientists and software engineers. The significance of multimedia for the future of computing, however, is generally not reflected in current curricula. For example, few universities offer dedicated courses, and multimedia is often only taught as part of other courses such as computer vision or machine learning. In addition, multimedia is a very active and rapidly changing field. New and emerging technologies may not only influence how we teach but also have an impact on what we teach. Against this background, we organized the ACM Workshop on Educational Multimedia and Multimedia Education (EMME) 2007. The goal of the workshop is to identify current and evolving trends, specify open problems, and discover challenges and prospects for new research in the broad topic of multimedia-based education. By bringing together researchers working on educational multimedia with multimedia educators, we want to establish an open discussion of these issues and create a reference for future research in this area. The call for papers attracted 25 submissions from Asia, the Middle East, Canada, Europe, Australia, and the United States. The program committee accepted 14 papers -- 9 full papers for oral presentation and 5 poster presentations -- resulting in an acceptance rate of 36% for oral presentations and 56% overall. The submissions truly reflect the diversity of the research currently done in the field. In addition to the presentations on current trends in educational multimedia, we are happy to welcome Susanne Boll, Ramesh Jain, Max Mühlhäuser, and Timothy K. Shih, who will discuss teaching multimedia in the workshop's closing panel on "The Future of Educational Multimedia. |

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.
