| Abstract | Higher education is at a crossroads. Universities face a combination of increased costs, increased competition, changing enrollments, and the introduction of new disruptive technologies with the potential to threaten their core product offerings. In response to these challenges, universities across the country are moving rapidly toward offering more online courses and programs. But in doing so, they are faced with questions with no clear answers: How should university courses (online and face-to-face courses) be designed? What do prospective and current students value about university level courses today and in the future? Are there factors that if included in the design of courses will increase student selection and retention in these courses? This paper presents results from a survey of over 390 respondents that addresses student characteristics and student preferences for different educational delivery options. The purpose of this study was to gain deeper insight by identifying factors that students value in university level courses so as to inform course and curriculum design choices. In the competitive environments faced by universities today, this research can be highly valuable to universities interested in improving their courses leading to increased enrollments. |

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.
