| Abstract | Conversational models are a means to capture and effectively represent the complexity of discussions by applying a process to create interactive three-dimensional outcomes. Whereas a conversation proceeds linearly in time, the relationship between the topics covered can often be decidedly nonlinear, as the interlocutors build on previous parts of the sequence: adding, subtracting, modifying, providing nuance, suggesting supporting anecdotes or other forms of evidence, and adjusting detail. This paper describes an initial attempt to transfer this form of design activity to the office space. During a conference on design and healthcare participants were briefed on the concept and the process of creating physical models of conversations, then asked to create a model of their own discussions on suggested conference topics. Results of the pilot indicate that this exercise allowed participants to quite thoroughly explore the topic, with an interesting movement from summaries of content to a cycle of expressions of opinions and refinements of those opinions, followed by questions and more refinements. There may also be additional benefits in somewhat slowing down the conversation, allowing for a more evenly distributed contribution from all the participants, including those working with English as an additional language. |

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.
