Abstract | A Mastery approach for learning Engineering Circuit Analysis at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMA) has been successfully implemented, with more than 200 students experiencing the approach. It has yet to be demonstrated if the Mastery Learning approach can be successfully implemented in a different field of study. At the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), many students enter their first year underprepared for both physics and calculus. Therefore, we have created a one-semester course to help students develop the skills needed to succeed in these courses. In this Work-in-Progress, we will summarize the Mastery approach as well as the circumstances that led the Department of Physics and Astronomy to offer this course. We will describe the course and its first implementation during Fall 2009, and we will look at some preliminary results, including students' performance in and attitudes toward the course. Finally, we will make a case for implementing this course for all engineering and science majors, specifically, everyone who plans on taking physics as part of their college major. |

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.
