Computer Literacy essential in today s Computer centric world
Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2006Co-Authors: Gireesh K GuptaAbstract:Computer Literacy is a fundamental part of undergraduate curriculum today. Computer Literacy is as basic to undergraduate students as the course work in core curriculum in today's Computer-centric information age [6]. The number of Computers-in-use worldwide is growing, especially in the developing countries [3]. Computers affect every facet of our lives and every sector of the global society. Employers prefer workers who are Computer literate because they are more productive and efficient at work than those who are not Computer literate. This paper focuses on Computer Literacy and its benefits to people of all ages -- children, teenagers, adults and seniors. I also describe the implementation of Computer competency requirement at Belmont Abbey College and the process students follow to satisfy this requirement in order to graduate.

Computer Literacy across the lifespan a review with implications for educators
Computers in Human Behavior, 2005Co-Authors: Timothy A PoyntonAbstract:The ability of an individual to interact with a Computer, referred to as Computer Literacy, has been receiving increasing attention in the research literature. However, there appear to be no reviews of the empirical research regarding Computer Literacy to date. The present article summarizes past and current empirical studies regarding Computer Literacy that have implications for educators of students of any age, organized by the developmental domains of childhood, young and middle adulthood, and older adulthood.

factors influencing Computer Literacy of taiwan and south korea nurses
Journal of Medical Systems, 2009Co-Authors: Ichiu ChangAbstract:Healthcare is experiencing a major transformation in its information technology base. Hospitals are adopting information technology (IT) to reduce costs and increase competitiveness. IT applications in healthcare are trending towards electronic patient records and even health records. Therefore, practices in nursing are also affected by IT. Many researchers have studied what Computer Literacy a nurse should possess, but have focused less on factors that actually impact Computer Literacy. The purposes of this study are to examine current Computer Literacy levels of nurses, and to indicate what variables influence their Computer Literacy. Taiwan and South Korea both implemented a national health insurance system, and used state-of-the art IT to provide higher volume and better quality of services. The data were collected from two case hospitals which are located in Taiwan and South Korea, respectively. By using a structured questionnaire, a total of 203 nurses responded; 104 from Taiwan and 99 from South Korea. The results revealed that personal innovativeness in IT, Computer education, and age are significant factors that affected Computer Literacy levels. These factors serve as reference for administrators and executives in hospitals, or nursing educators seeking the data necessary to make decisions on curriculum.

Forum: Management Cybernetics: Basic Computer Literacy Needed by All Managers
Kybernetes, 1993Co-Authors: Charles H. Cooper, Brian H. KleinerAbstract:Computer Literacy is a nebulous term which defies a clear and concise definition. The inability to properly define this term makes it difficult for managers to gain a clear understanding of their roles as they apply to Computer Literacy. This contribution presents concepts which will enable managers to understand Computer Literacy better. The main emphasis is based on a model known as ASK (Awareness, Skill, Knowledge). These factors help to provide an effective method of defining a manager's role as it pertains to the various elements of Computer Literacy. The role of training as it pertains to managers and organizations is also addressed.

Computer Literacy and libraries
The Electronic Library, 1991Co-Authors: Cora S.h. OvensAbstract:Computer Literacy is defined. Reasons are given why Computer Literacy is required by librarians/information officers and some of the Computerised library tasks are listed. Problems such as Computer fear/anxiety and Computer resistance, the clash of Computer software methodologies, and miscellaneous problems such as the acquisition of unknown, often unsuitable software programmes for libraries, ‘user‐friendliness’ of programmes, ‘home made’ library programmes, training and the unwillingness of a few staff members to become Computer literate are named and discussed. Some solutions to overcome these problems are discussed: communication, training, the use of manuals, hardware and software support and user groups.
