| Abstract | Sustainable technology has been defined as technology that provides for our current needs without sacrificing the ability of future populations to sustain themselves. Approaching the synthesis of sustainably engineered solutions requires weighing the qualities of different proposals from a variety of different perspectives. Of necessity these problems must be solved from multidisciplinary perspectives. Students, therefore, need to learn not only what their own disciplines have to say about the issues, but they also need to be able to recognize the other kinds of issues that arise and to know which disciplines can contribute to their solutions. Thus, students need to learn how to recognize new issues and to work collaboratively. This points to a need for students to learn by working on cases in multidisciplinary teams. These multidisciplinary groups provide opportunities for collaboration and reflection that have the potential to greatly enhance student learning. Learning in such an environment can provide students with cases that they can recall and adapt later in their careers. We describe the curriculum of a problem-based course in sustainable development and technology (SDT) as well as discussing the technology that will be used in the future to support collaborative learning. In addition, we present some assessment data to indicate what students have learned and needs that have been identified as a result of these assessments. |

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.
