The in-application functionality makes it possible to create questions that are answered directly in the Microsoft Office applications; Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. The candidates answer these questions by performing actions directly in the applications which provides a more authentic situation. All results are analysed and reported at the end of the test.

READ THE FULL STORY    ECDL Foundation calls for governments to address the digital divide on World Information Society Day The World Information Society Day is celebrated yearly on 17th May. This year the urgent need to bridge the digital divide was highlighted and the profound impact that Information and Communication Technologies have on people’s lives was recognised. The ECDL Foundation calls for national and international organisations to work together towards achieving sustainable programmes to raise the levels of digital literacy around the world Since its inception in 1996, nearly 8 million people globally, have enrolled in the ECDL/ICDL programmes, however, the digital divide persists to threaten developing countries.  Indicative of this disheartening situation is the fact that 83% of the global population  does not use the internet. "Technology alone will not bridge the digital divide; people all over the world need to acquire digital literacy skills before they can reap the benefits of the Information Society," says Damien O’Sullivan, CEO of the ECDL Foundation. "We are proud to provide programmes that enable people to avail of societal and economic benefits of ICT, however we call on governments in both developed and developing countries to address this divide and work together with appropriate support from international organisations to achieve this, says O´Sullivan. Syllabus 5.0 Test Development The development program for the new Syllabus 5.0 tests is now well underway with a number of test streams already having been submitted to the ECDL Foundation for approval. Enlight is pleased to confirm that tests for Syllabus 5.0 will now include the new "live in-application" questions to provide the task-related questions requested by many Test Centres. Subject to formal approval of these tests by the ECDL Foundation, it is expected that the new tests will be available well in time for the launch dates in each country commencing in Autumn 2008. As the Syllabus 5.0 launch has been delayed in the UK, test development is being planned to incorporate the new in-application questions into the current English Syllabus 4.0 tests. Further information will be provided in the next Newsletter in September.
