| Abstract | Iterative design is nowadays indicated as the approach that most likely produces a successful system, and the application of usability evaluation methods is identified as the primary key that allow designers to reveal and fix problems early or, to better say, at the right moment during the design of the system. These approaches often overlooks issues that get revealed only when system "goes live", namely system performances and a different attitude of the users towards the system. With respect to these issues, in this paper we discuss the lessons learned from the TERENCE project -- a technology enhanced learning project for improving the text comprehension in children 7-11 years old -- and in particular from a large-scale evaluation. Our experience suggests modifications to the classical UCD lifecycle: on the one hand post implementation activities should be foreseen since the beginning (and assigned reasonable time and appropriate budget), and on the other hand system performance evaluation should be anticipated and integrated in the lifecycle, to be able to predict system behavior and variables that affect it, and consequently produce "performance informed" design iterations (with performances considered at interaction, architecture and coding levels). We also sketch a possible prediction approach. |

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.
