| Abstract | As part of Penn State's overall mission statement, we believe that "As Pennsylvania's land-grant university, we also hold a unique responsibility to provide access, outreach, and public service to support the citizens of the Commonwealth and beyond." Encompassing 25 campuses, four special mission campuses and our web-based World Campus, we serve more than 92,000 students from across the Commonwealth, the nation, and the world. To more effectively and efficiently deliver content and instruction, Teaching and Learning with Technology began researching and piloting various web-based delivery methods to complement our established video-conferencing infrastructure. After research and consideration, TLT chose to implement Adobe's Connect Pro desktop video conferencing. Through research and development, TLT has developed several strategies for using both the synchronous and asynchronous aspects of Adobe Connect Pro to assist faculty in providing students with resources to enrich their educational experience, and to provide instruction to our diverse, non-traditional, and potentially underserved or otherwise inaccessible constituencies. Our training workshops and seminars in the essentials of using the tool and scenarios for classroom use help faculty to improve the way in which instruction is delivered, and students in how their learning takes place using Adobe Connect Pro. In this paper, we will examine our approach to deploying and providing training on Connect Pro; look at its essential elements and how they are being used in the classroom; review some examples of how it has been successfully used; and look ahead to what potential it may hold for further development and deployment in enhancing the teaching/learning process. |

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.
