| Abstract | We have designed and implemented a prototype virtual environment for medical training in neonatal resuscitation. The central element of this environment is the dynamic virtual model (avatar) of a new-born child, built using VRML and Java. Physiological variables relevant for training were chosen to be represented through the avatar: heart rate, respiration rate, skin colour and activity level (such as movement and crying). Implementation mechanisms of presenting these vital signs on the virtual baby with animation and sound are described in this paper. We are using time-dependent description of basic events to specify scenarios according to which the condition of a baby is changing. Sets of scenarios are then coupled to actions performed by a student during training. Such approach for all relevant variables had seemed good at first, but it soon became impractical and hard to follow due to separate treatment of variables. Therefore an attempt to create a simplified, easier controllable model with interdependent variables is being under development. This paper reports on current implementation as well as on the explored ideas for the future. |

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.
