What is the purpose of the iSkills Assessment?

iSkills is an assessment of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) literacy skills – a subset of the larger domain of critical thinking. The exam is designed to measure and validate advanced critical thinking skills in a scenario-based, technological context. iSkills utilizes real-world scenarios to measure the ability to navigate, critically evaluate, and make sense of the wealth of information available through digital technology. These scenarios are set in the context of the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, business/workplace, practical affairs, and popular culture and assess the seven critical ICT content areas: define access, evaluate, manage, integrate, create, and communicate.
