| Abstract | Valparaiso University offers 30 classroom technology carts, and in addition, the Valparaiso University School of Law provides five classrooms that are fully technologically equipped including Stride Court Room where "technology in the classroom becomes technology in the courtroom."Valparaiso University provides scheduled training for faculty on the utilization of each piece of equipment on the cart, and it encourages faculty to incorporate these devices in their classroom instruction. With these "Ala Carte" choices, faculty do not have to feel overwhelmed by a control panel that looks as if it could launch "weapons of mass destruction." Instead, they can start by utilizing one piece of equipment until they are comfortable, and then incorporate another piece of technology, until they have the full capabilities to launch all "weapons of mass instruction."Instructional User Support staff members contact and provide individual training to faculty who are scheduled in the "High Tech" classrooms. Written instructions are then given to the faculty member;. In addition, by faculty request, a support person will either attend the first session of class or else schedule a "dry run" of the first session.Faculty also are offered an opportunity to demonstrate their use of classroom technology to their peers at a Technology Fair sponsored by The Teaching Resource Center, Electronic Information Services, and Library staff. In our recent event, Communication Professor Lanie Steinwart presented her experiences and philosophy of classroom technology. In addition, Professor Steinwart stated that students have shorter attention spans, can simultaneously process information, and need instant gratification in regard to their educational needs. |

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.
