ABSTRACT
Despite coming of age with the Internet and other technology, many college students lack the information and communication technology (ICT) literacy skills—locating, evaluating, and communicating information—necessary to navigate and use theoverabundance of information available today. This paper presents a study of the validity of a simulations-based assessment of ICT literacy skills. Our overall goals for the assessment are to support ICT literacy instructional initiatives at colleges and universities.
Keywords: Higher Education, ICT Literacy, Information Literacy, Instructional Initiatives, Psychometrics, Validity.
Discussions of Information Technology in Education typically emphasize the Technology rather than the Information. Widespread technology has meant that people encounter more information, in a greater variety of
formats, than ever before. Technology is the portal through which we interact with information, but people’s ability to handle information—to solve problems and think critically about information—tells us more about their future success than their knowledge of specific hardware or software. These skills—known as Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Literacy—comprise a 21st century form of literacy, in which researching and communicating information via digital environments are as important as reading and writing were in earlier centuries.
