| Abstract | When the discussions about bringing changes and innovations to colleges is invoked, administrators and academicians often either refer to curriculum and program reforms or updating the Information technology (IT) resources and labs to address the needs of industry and government agencies. But there is another area equally important where changes are needed to take place in order to create a more innovative and engaging learning environment. It is the classroom design and infrastructure. Currently, classrooms are designed in such a way to provide face-to-face and group work learning experiences to students. Though most of them use laptops and hand-held devices including iPads as computing devices and enjoy a multitude of apps to interact with teachers and peers, all of this is still happening in the cyberspace. There is a need to move to the physical world of smart spaces in order to create smart classrooms. Our learning environments including our desks, whiteboards, classroom walls are all expected to come alive with technology. This can happen by integrating smart boards and walls, interactive projectors, new input and output devices, and sensors. This paper proposes a framework for modeling and understanding smart classrooms that are effectively and flexibly designed as spaces, student-centered, integrated for collaboration and information capture and sharing, and which take advantage of social networking. |

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.
