| Abstract | Welcome to the First ACM International Workshop on Multimedia Technologies for Distance Learning (MTDL 2009), as one of the workshops held in conjunction with the ACM Multimedia 2009 Conference. Multimedia technologies and networking infrastructure have changed human social behavior. One typical example is education. The impact of distance learning to traditional universities in particular allows educational professionals to rethink about how to efficiently and effectively using multimedia technologies to improve instruction, as well as to encourage students to learn. Although multimedia technologies have already been widely used in e-learning, various considerations should be carefully addressed from both pedagogical and technological perspectives, to ensure the successful incorporation of these technologies in e-learning. This ACM workshop aims to discuss problems, current studies, and solutions in how to use multimedia and communication technologies to improve e-learning. Especially, presentations address the difference between using and without using multimedia technologies in education. Practical solutions are included, although pedagogical theories may be used to support the solutions. The workshop received 24 full paper submissions from Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Greece, and United Kingdom. Each paper was reviewed by at least three reviewers. To ensure quality of this workshop, the Program Co-Chairs decided to accept only 11 papers. Some of the accepted papers will be further recommended for resubmission to the Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies on Game-Based Learning. The Workshop program is divided into four sessions: Learning Technology Infrastructure (3 papers), Technology-Assisted Learning (3 papers), Game-Based Learning (3 papers), and Learning Methodologies (2 papers). All presentations are scheduled on October 23, 2009. |

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.
