What is usability in the context of the digital library and how can it be measured?
This paper reviews how usability has been defined in the context of the digital library, what methods have been applied and their applicability, and proposes an evaluation model and a suite of instruments for evaluating usability for academic digital libraries.

Towards using online portfolios in computing courses
The direct experience we had with teaching a summer pre-college computing course in which we adopted an online portfolio approach has led us to consider the use of online portfolios in our regular computer science undergraduate courses. The technical challenges we foresee include: the necessary support from the college\u27s IT department; the use of Microsoft-based web authoring technologies vs. the use of Open Source / freeware counterparts; the need for adequate technical knowledge on the part of our faculty; the need for server-side hardware and software resources

Design and Development of a User Specific Dynamic E-Magazine
Internet and electronic media gaining more popularity due to ease and speed,
the count of Internet users has increased tremendously. The world is moving
faster each day with several events taking place at once and the Internet is
flooded with information in every field. There are categories of information
ranging from most relevant to user, to the information totally irrelevant or
less relevant to specific users. In such a scenario getting the information
which is most relevant to the user is indispensable to save time. The
motivation of our solution is based on the idea of optimizing the search for
information automatically. This information is delivered to user in the form of
an interactive GUI. The optimization of the contents or information served to
him is based on his social networking profiles and on his reading habits on the
proposed solution. The aim is to get the user's profile information based on
his social networking profile considering that almost every Internet user has
one. This helps us personalize the contents delivered to the user in order to
produce what is most relevant to him, in the form of a personalized e-magazine.
Further the proposed solution learns user's reading habits for example the news
he saves or clicks the most and makes a decision to provide him with the best
contents.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figure

E-learning for Networked Living
Networked Living is a Level 1 course in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) offered by the UK Open University. The first two presentation of the course, in 2005 and 2006, attracted over 3000 students between them. Networked Living introduces students to ICT concepts and issues in a range of contexts. The course adopts a blended learning approach, using printed texts, web resources, DVD and computer conferencing.
All the above media are used where appropriate to support students' learning. About 60% of the material is print-based – teaching texts, together with selected third-party articles. About 20% is web-based – using a comprehensive course web site, but also requiring students to find and use third-party sites. The remaining 20% is based on offline computer resources (e.g. spreadsheets) and collaborative activities using computer conferencing.
The course web site contains short animations, quizzes and several interactive activities where students contribute information and commentaries, and can then see the collated contributions of other students. The DVD contains longer animations, simulations and software. Computer conferencing is used for tutor-group and whole-cohort conferences, and for online tutorials, with both asynchronous and synchronous discussion. The course web site provides a new, shareable 'online journal' facility, where students can record their work for the course.
This paper discusses the various e-learning elements of Networked Living, based on the first two presentations of the course. The paper considers how e-learning can be combined with printed resources to create a successful blended learning experience for students
