| Abstract | Institutions of higher education in the U.S. are increasing their use of project-based courses and experiential learning using projects or service in other countries. Project-based instruction provides students with an opportunity to make connections between the classroom and the world around them. Research suggests that fieldwork strongly enhances curriculum instruction and provides additional learning value to students. The goal of this grant was to increase the international content of existing curriculum by providing to students advanced skills in sampling design, geospatial statistics, and remote sensing for mapping and monitoring of crops and natural areas including semi-arid mountains, sub-tropical mountains, and tropical rain forests. This experience for the students has opened their eyes to new cultures and environments, allowed them to apply their classrooms skills is a real-world context and importantly to see how what they are learning is readily usable outside the classroom. |

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.
