[Chapter-delegates] Measuring On-line Skills and experience

[Jacek Gajewski]

Dear Tony,

      The ICDL/ECDL is 'Computer' literacy standard whereas Omar has asked
for 'Internet' literacy indicator.

I assume that he is looking for some metrics to measure an Internet
Literacy.

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).

If any of you knows how to measure 'Internet literacy' or 'security
awareness' I would be very grateful for a hint.

With kindest regards,

Jacek Gajewski
