<div>Dear Tony,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> The ICDL/ECDL is 'Computer' literacy standard whereas Omar has asked for 'Internet' literacy indicator.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I assume that he is looking for some metrics to measure an Internet Literacy.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am interested to find a metrics for measuring 'network security awareness' or 'computer security awareness' - I would like to measure the security awareness (as an initial procedure, to find out areas/groups where this awareness is low and thus where I should concentrate my work).
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If any of you knows how to measure 'Internet literacy' or 'security awareness' I would be very grateful for a hint.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>With kindest regards,</div>
<div> </div>

<p><font face="Arial">The ICDL is designed for a person to 'drive' a computer with the same ease as they might drive a car. Its aims are to:<br></font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Arial">Raise the general level of competency in IT<br></font>
<li><font face="Arial">Improve productivity at work<br></font>
<li><font face="Arial">Reduce user support costs<br></font>

<li><font face="Arial">Ensure that best practice and quality issues are understood and implemented. </font></li></li></li></li></li></ul>
<p><font face="Arial">The ICDL is not a "training course" but rather a competency standard that is acknowledged through testing.
