| Abstract | Team-based learning (TBL) is a teaching method which emphasizes learning through teamwork rather than from traditional lecturing methods. This paper describes the integration of TBL with the physics laboratory courses at New Mexico State University. Previous laboratory classes were run using an inquiry based method. Implementation of TBL was designed to enhance the willingness of the students to participate in the inquiry process by adding more structure to the assessment of student progress. The change to TBL in the laboratory courses was designed to point students toward a hands-on, experimental approach to physics. The content portion of the TBL was the experiment itself. Students were asked to complete a RAT (readiness assessment test) after working the experiment. The activity portion of the TBL was incorporated through assigned homework for each student. Teaching assistants for each lab section made recorded observations of the students, both individually and as teams. This observation and subsequent discussion with the teaching assistants and students revealed three interesting findings. First, the students in the TBL course were more likely to create and implement their own experiments to solve the problems expounded in the RATs. Second, the students in the college physics lab (biologists, chemists, and engineering technologists, as well as pre-med and pre-vet students) were the first to recognize the goal of the lab and engage in hands-on experimentation. Students in the engineering physics lab took twice as long to make the connection. Third, the teaching assistants' observations indicated an increase in understanding of the experimental process by the students. They also commented that student confidence was enhanced over that exhibited in the previous lab classes. |

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.
