| Abstract | Online engineering education tools present students with flexible access to local/distance learning resources and offer an opportunity to maintain student engagement via the use of dynamic interfaces. This paper addresses lessons learned from the creation and use of online homework generation modules in an electrical engineering signals and systems course. The nine modules address complex number calculations, complex conversions, signal graphing, zero input response, unit impulse response, Fourier series, and fast Fourier transforms. The primary goal was to create an innovative and engaging set of online learning experiences that would allow faculty to assess the transfer of mathematical knowledge from calculus and differential equations courses to subsequent electrical engineering courses. These modules offer student specific problem generation and automatic grading, where the latter accelerates the feedback cycle and provides tool scalability to large numbers of students. The tools are easily upgradable and offer the opportunity to track, through a database, elements of the student learning process that often go unrecorded but yield a rich data set for correlating performance on related subjects in current, previous, or subsequent semesters. The modules have been employed nine semesters to date, and student survey data from these experiences supplement data stored in the database files and data recorded from written examinations. Student reactions to these tools have been generally positive, where the ease of answer entry plays a large role in the experience. Quantitative correlations between module scores, grades on written examinations, and performance in previous mathematics courses have demonstrated variable clarity, but qualitative assessments of the technology-facilitated environment point to a clear increase in student learning and engagement. Instructor benefits are apparent with regard to grading time saved, grading consistency, confidence in student accountability for work submitted, and information regarding when/where students work that is difficult to obtain any other way. |

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.
