| Abstract | This paper describes a programming system used in the teaching of two Computer Science courses at The Pennsylvania State University (7). The courses are; an upper level undergraduate-beginning graduate level course in graph theory, and a graduate level course in the theory of graphs and networks. As can be ascertained from the description of these courses they are not primarily what would normally be called programming courses. However, since they are computer science courses they do stress the computational aspects of graph and network theory and analysis. Past experiences have indicated that if a computational problem of any reasonable complexity is assigned in class the majority of the students focus an inordinate amount of their energies to the programming problems, and consequently fail to grasp the significant features of the theoretical problems involved. In addition, since graph and network theory encompasses not only computer science, but engineering and physical, and to a lesser extent, the social sciences, many of these students would be unduly burdened by writing many rather complex programs. On the other hand, teaching the computational aspects of graph theory without doing some programming is equally ludicrous. Thus, a default type solution of assigning two or three problems from a narrow set of problems was rapidly becoming an undesirable solution to this dilema. It was at this point that the concept of a dynamically growing programming system, as described in this paper, began to formulate itself. |

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.
