Abstract

We present the results of a monitoring exercise whose objectives were to analyze the experiences of the Italian Universities in the framework of the ECDL programme and to assess the impact of the ECDL certification in the Universities. Our investigation focused on the ECDL projects carried out by 50 Universities in the year 2004. The analysis has shown that the ECDL certification was used by the majority of the Universities to assess the basic computer skills of their students. On the contrary, the organizational and teaching profiles of the Universities varied as a function of their size.
