| Abstract | CeTUSS (www.CeTUSS.se) is an engineering education center established by the Swedish Council for Renewal of Higher Education in 2004. During 2006/2007 CeTUSS funded "Stepping Stones", a multi-phase (project based) initiative for tertiary engineering educators at Swedish Universities. The aim was to build a community of engineering educators and to increase their familiarity with evaluation and research approaches to assessing the impact of classroom interventions. Stepping Stones was based on the earlier US, UK and Australian initiatives; the scaffolding, bootstrapping and BRACE programmes. The approach uses a joint, multi-method, research study to raise awareness of relevant theory, while simultaneously supporting community development. Community building is achieved through joint work and shared experiences which promote convergence on a common set of values and ideals in relation to scholarship of teaching and learning. Investigative "capacity" was enhanced by drawing together a Swedish pool of engineering education expertise. Stepping Stones consisted of three phases. The first phase was a week long workshop examining relevant theory and empirical study design in engineering education research. This workshop introduced an "experiment kit", a protocol detailing experimental design of the project that participants jointly implemented in phase two. During phase two the participants gathered data in their own classrooms, contributing to a joint corpus of material for analysis in phase three. During the data collection process participants administered and validated a variety of instruments; surveys and interviews (including photo elicitation), and concept map collection using explanograms (a tool for automating collection of handwritten data developed by the CeTUSS center). The final phase was a w.eek-long workshop where participants analyzed the aggregated data and produced a written report, 'What is the Word for "Engineering" in Swedish: Swedish Students Conceptions of their Discipline' (http://www.it.uu.se/research/publications/reports/2007-018). |

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.
