College students might be old pros when it comes to downloading music or swapping instant messages, but that doesn’t necessarily make them wise to the ways of the Internet. So a team of colleges, along with the Educational Testing Service, is developing a test that gauges students’ "Internet intelligence."
The Information and Communication Technology Literacy Assessment, as the exam is called, could become popular with professors who bemoan their students’ poor Web-research skills. The test measures students’ ability to find information online, verify it, and credit it properly. (Associated Press)
