| Abstract | The value of case studies for teaching both subject specific and transferable skills within chemistry have long been recognised. Coupling this with problem based learning provides a powerful basis for teaching transferable skills within a chemistry context. This problem based learning case study does this via the fascinating story of the industrial challenge to develop CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) replacements on a very short time scale. It provides a vehicle for developing team working, communication, critical thinking, data interpretation and problem solving skills in a ‘real life’ context. It also introduces students to environmental issues and green chemistry plus the role of the chemical industry in developing solutions to these issues. The, often competing, interplay between chemistry, economics and social and political factors encourages (?) students to make links between different areas of the curriculum and to also appreciate that there are not always single ‘correct’ answers to scientific problems. Attention is focussed on the discovery and development of the CFC replacement HFA–134a. The paper concludes with a report on the trialling of, and student feedback for, the case study. [Chem. Educ.

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.
