Rick,
You might find the work of Lending and Fox at SUNY-Brockport of some
interest. They presented an approach to testing computer literacy at the last
AAHE assessment meeting. As I recall, it was both comprehensive and
generalizable.

This is addressed to people with a specific interest or knowledge of
psychological testing on your campus:
We are interested in finding a test of computer competency that
could certify students passing it as computer literate that is not
specific to certain programs (like Microsoft Office). We have
already located a test that certifies people as having competence
with the components of Microsoft Office. Does anyone know of (or
have developed for local use) a test that would allow a person to
demonstrate general competence in using a word processor,
database, spreadsheet, presentation software and internet tools?
Alternatively, do you know of, or have you created, a test that
allows students to demonstrate such competence within the
context of a group of particular programs (like MS Office)? Thanks
for your help.
