| Abstract | The overall objectives of the research performed in the iCollaborate Materials Science and Engineering [MSE] project are to measure if improvements in student learning outcomes, student engagement, and successful course completion rates are possible if the structure in a basic materials engineering course is transformed from primarily deductive practice to an Information Communication Technology (ICT) enabled inductive teaching and learning environment. There are two overarching components of our project. The first component required the transformation of the course structure from deductive practice to inductive practice. This element is supported by research results in STEM education and educational theory based on cognitive and social constructivism. The second component is the ICT support as there is an additional research base that supports connections between ICT enhanced collaborative learning, distributed cognition, and enhanced student outcomes. We propose that ICT support combined with immersion in an inductive teaching and learning environment will improve student outcomes more than either singular component case. The capabilities of the iPod Touch allowed us to build applications (apps) that utilize different multi-media formats. Eight different MSE apps have been built so far. The apps facilitate and support daily collaborative learning opportunities that target specific student learning objectives that are known to be challenging. Bi-weekly in-class, low-stakes quizzes help the students evaluate how well they are building their own knowledge base. Three kinds of data sets will be used to evaluate our research. Data set one is from deductive practice. Data set two is with inductive practice. The third data set, which we are now collecting, is similar to data set two, but with ICT support. This work-in-progress paper will describe the project, its theoretical base, the apps, experiences with the deployment of the devices, and focus group findings. The National Science Foundation is supporting the project (NSF CCLI #0941012). |

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.
