“…The number of Producers in their study was the least among all four groups and half the number of Traditionalists. Claro et al [13] measured the ICT skills of students using a performance-based assessment in a virtual environment. Their results showed that most students were able to solve tasks related to the use of information as consumers, but had difficulties when using information as producers.…”

“…The use of simulated environments to provide a more authentic test environment when assessing aspects of digital literacy has often required developers to create custom-made simulated environments [6,11,12,13]. Such an approach entails substantial technical effort that diverts resources from the main goal of designing and validating tasks to measure aspects of digital literacy.…”

This paper presents the development and testing of two interactive computer-based tasks for assessing aspects of students' digital literacy. The tasks were created using Google Apps Script to allow students to work with authentic digital productivity tools. Results from 156 university students indicate that the task requiring analysis of data in a spreadsheet application was significantly more difficult than the task requiring information literacy to make edits in a word processor application. These types of tasks offer more authentic ways for students to engage with digital technology during the assessment of their digital literacy. This study highlights the potential of Google Apps Scripts for developing and delivering tasks in performance-based assessments of students' digital literacy.
