It is not "standardized" outside of our institution, but the University of
St. Thomas has a Computer Competency Requirement mandated by the faculty.
It has been phased in over the past several years for all undergraduate
classes.  It now includes transfer students, and all undergraduate students.


For requirements, see http://tigger.stthomas.edu/competency/, or contact me
directly for statistical analyses.

Subject: Standardized Tech Skills Test?


Hello all.

Is anyone aware of the existence of a standardized skills test to assess
basic technology competencies?   What I have in mind is a TOEFL or ACTFL
for the tech skills set.  I would want to administer this to incoming
students to place them in lab orientations as well as with new faculty and
staff to assess which technological skills they have and to determine the
training they will need.

Thanks for any info.
