| Abstract | “Computer Programming for Science/ Engineering” (CPSE) is an introductory programming course for STEM students other than Computer Science (CS) major. Typical attendees are required to attend either CPSE or the Java-based first programming course of the CS majors' sequence (CS1). The previous curriculum for CPSE was a traditional introductory programming course with chronically low enrollment despite less its substantially relaxed learning outcomes. Post-reform, CPSE has become a popular alternative to CS1. Pass rates in CPSE are substantially higher than both local and national pass rates for CS1 and equivalent courses, and in-class tests of CPSE students indicate that 70% satisfy the majority of CS1 outcomes, which exceeds the pass rate for most CS1 sections at our institution. While both CPSE and CS1 teach the Java language, CPSE integrates inductive teaching strategies developed by the second author's iMPaCT program that exploit the relaxed syntax of the Jython language. Like immersive foreign language programs, lessons during the first half of the course exploit the relaxed grammatical requirements of a simpler programming language (Jython) to introduce programming concepts (semantics) incrementally in a conversational manner. These early lessons are motivated by accessible graphical problems that incidentally review foundational math concepts. |

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.
