| Abstract | At present, people’s learning styles become diverse, for which mobile learning is a significant trend that enables distributed learners to achieve collaborative learning and allows them to be engaged in virtual teams to work together. In this research, we develop a system to cope with the problem in current mobile learning circumstance, where learners in virtual teams generally lack proper communications, guidance and assistances between each other. Following the theory of Kolb team learning experience, we use our system, Teamwork as a Service (TaaS), to work in conjunction with cloud-based learning management systems. This system targets at organizing a series of learning activities and then forming a learning flow in order to allow learners to participate into smart collaborations. Executing the five web services of TaaS sequentially, learners can have their collaborative learning arranged in a better environment, where they are able to know about one another, be grouped into cloud-based ‘Jigsaw Classroom’, plan and publish tasks and supervise other learners mutually. In particular, one primary point of enhancing learners’ teamwork performance is to offer them computational choice of task allocation. For this reason, we model the social features related to the collaborative learning activities, and introduce a genetic algorithm (GA) approach to group learners into appropriate teams with two different team formation scenarios. The technical details of the operation principle of GA are illustrated thoroughly. Finally, experimental results are presented to prove our approach is workable to facilitate teamwork with considerations of learner’s capabilities and preferences. We also demonstrate our implementation details of the newly designed TaaS over the Amazon cloud and discuss the main improvements for collaborative learning brought by TaaS. |

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.
