| Abstract | Faculty working directly with first-year students in the Computer & Information Technology department at IUPUI wished to improve first-year student retention within the program. Initially the team focused on adjusting the flow of content in the program's foundational courses to ensure their relevance. One course in particular, an introduction to Problem Solving and Qualitative Analysis, was frequently criticized by students as they struggled with fairly abstract topics for which they did not see an immediate need. In addition to updating the course content, the faculty co-investigators designed two projects that integrated these first-year students into a sophomore-level course where problem-solving skills and systems analysis techniques were actively applied. These experimental projects were integrated into one section of the first-year course, as well as one section of the sophomore-level follow-up course. From a qualitative perspective, the project was well received by students. First-year students were actively engaged sophomore-level coursework, and higher-level students eagerly included them in projects. Buoyed by the initial success of the experiment, the investigators wish to apply similar techniques to all sections of the first-year course and quantitatively measure its impact on student outcomes in subsequent courses. |

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.
