Preparation for "E-Learning": ICT Literacy and Usage of Australian University Students (2001)
Abstract
University students require considerable computer literacy to enter and then succeed at their studies. Many courses, whether technology focussed or not, are using advanced Web technology to deliver educational content. This paper explores the changing nature of Information & Communication Technologies (ICTs) literacy of university students and explores whether gender and age factors affect student’s ICT literacy and Web usage. There was a focus on first-year (freshman or transition) students. Main findings show that there is a significant difference in how females and males use the Web and first year (transition) students come to University with advanced ICT literacy.
