Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

Generic terms such as “computer literacy,” “computer competency” and “technology literacy” have been used for decades as measures of one’s aptitude with computer and information technology. Many disregarded the ambiguity of these terms while erratic exposure to ever-changing computer technology rendered itself as computer literacy. With an increasing focus on organizations now administering technology literacy tests, educators need to be more cognizant of the computer and information literacy assessments and the implications of these assessments for the core information systems course in business schools.
