| Abstract | Writing syntactically correct code and understanding algorithm development are two essential skills mastered by most introductory computer science students. Another important component of professional programming is thorough testing to verify correct design and accurate coding; however this topic is frequently covered with less emphasis than it deserves in the core programming curricula. In this paper we describe instructional software that we are developing to support introductory level programming students in collaboratively and incrementally developing test cases for the class libraries they implement, as well as to automatically validate their implementations. This software is structured as an Internet application with a simplified user interface that allows distributed generation of a common library of test cases as well as remote testing of each student's individual implementation. By integrating testing and validation into the earliest stages of programming instruction, we anticipate that students will develop a better understanding of not only the syntax of the programming languages they are using but, more importantly, a deeper understanding of the semantics of the code they author and better success in debugging initial versions of their program solutions. Furthermore, using an Internet based infrastructure allows students to become familiar with having different aspects of the program development process itself performed by different (teams) of individuals, each of whom might be geographically distributed: an important practical component of global software engineering. A fully functional on-line version of our software is expected by the end of Summer 2007 and Human Subjects Protocol approval is expected for Fall 2007 evaluation of the effectiveness of our software in instructing introductory level programming students. |

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.
