| Abstract | The process of receiving and using feedback from teachers and peer editing groups in the writing classroom, while valuable, is not sufficient in the discipline of technical communication. Technical communication relies heavily on experiential learning, which is typically gained through internships and coops. Similarly, in courses with a service-learning component or activities, students are able to interact with real-world audiences, getting feedback on their work from audiences beyond the classroom. There has been little integration of service learning into technical communication courses serving a student population comprised of engineering students. In courses with this type of curricular structure, students have the opportunity to learn and apply writing, editing, and collaboration strategies specific to the field of engineering in non academic situations. This paper outlines the justification and methodology for using community engagement and service learning assignments in technical writing courses that primarily serve students in engineering programs. It outlines the benefits to the students and community organizations; details how I, while at the University of Alaska Anchorage, used service learning as a means of programmatic assessment in my technical communication courses; and concludes with the methods of assessment used to evaluate the effectiveness of this type of course. |

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.
