| Abstract | This paper describes our innovative web based system, DoIT. DoIT is an acronym for Dynamic Curriculum Organisation by Innovation through Technology. IEEE-CS and ACM have been working on developing a comprehensive body of knowledge on software engineering (SWEBOK) [1]. Carnegie-Mellon Software Engineering Institute [CMU/SEI-99-TR-032] has produced a document that presents some guidelines for using the SWEBOK to support effective curriculum design. Our DoIT project has used the SWEBOK classification to map the core units in our current BSE curriculum against the SWEBOK knowledge key areas. In many engineering disciplines, the accreditation of university curricula and the licensing and certification of practicing professionals are taken very seriously. These are seen as critical to ensure upgrading of course content and structure where warranted to achieve improvements in the level of professional practice. Recognition of the core body of knowledge in a discipline is crucial to the development and accreditation of university curricula. DoIT system has been engineered in a systematic and disciplined manner and allows our Bachelor of Software Engineering students at Monash University to view the key areas of software engineering body of knowledge (SWEBOK) that they learn in their core subjects of study as they progress through our course. The main objective of the system is to provide an Internet facility for the students to learn about what they have learnt in their subjects in terms of SWEBOK objectives. The main inputs to DoIT are the SWEBOK key areas, our BSE core subjects mapped to SWEBOK and BSE student information extracted from Monash' student ORACLE database at the beginning of each new semester of our BSE course. Our BSE students are able to interact with the DoIT system to retrieve a personalized competency profile (PCP) at the completion of each semester of study. The contents visualized through the web site DoIT evolves as the students move through the course and works with up to date information about students. The web-based system, DoIT can be viewed at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~doit/. The learning outcomes from DoIT can be considered from three perspectives [2]. It is about:Students' learning about what they have learnt in terms of course content shown as knowledge areas covered in SWEBOK objectives.Lecturing staff and curriculum designers able to track the curriculum and see how the various topics relate together, and ascertain if there are any overlaps and gaps in knowledge.The educational institution able to see the organisational knowledge assets in terms of graduate capabilities from our course. |

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.
