Measuring Literacy in a World Gone Digital

Discussion started by Janet Salmons in ICT Literacy in Learning Times
Today's Business section of the NY Times features a story titled, "Measuring Literacy in a World Gone Digital." You can read it online at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/17/technology/17test.html?th (free registration needed.) The story discusses a new test developed for college students by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) called "The Information and Communications Technology literacy assessment." You can learn more or check out the demo on their website, http://www.ets.org/ictliteracy/.
What do you think? Will this test be useful? Can ICT literacy be assessed by a test? How can the important social, communication and collaborative aspects of ICT literacy be assessed?
As background, reports from two meetings convened by ETS are posted on the ICT Literacy community Resources area: Succeeding in the 21c: What Higher Education Must Do to Address the Gap in Information and Communications Technology (2002) and Digital transformation: A Framework for ICT Literacy: A Report of the International ICT Literacy Panel (2001).

I think I relate to this tool. Then the last of the things I do on paper may end up on the pc - mind you it probably can't replicate the mindmaps created on any available scrap of paper - mostly backs of envelops!
