National Assessment Program--ICT Literacy Years 6 & 10 School Assessment Exemplars, 2005
Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (NJ1)
In 2005, the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA) conducted an assessment of Year 6 and Year 10 students across Australia to assess their proficiency in ICT literacy. The 2005 ICT literacy assessment instrument consisted of seven discrete thematic modules. One module, the General Skills Test, included only simple software skills performance and multiple-choice assessment items. The remaining six modules, referred to as "Hybrid Assessment Modules" (HAMs), integrated skills simulations, performance and multiple choice items with large open ended tasks completed using live software applications on notebook computers. This paper presents a brief description of the content of each of the three exemplar assessment modules with hyperlinks to play, or download and play, each module.
