Level of Proficiency On the Basic Skill of Software Application
The level of proficiency necessary to perform adequately we have developed some
question and description for the degree of the knowledge, familiarity with of ability to use basic computer application. Because of continue increasing use of computer application, the knowledge of computer systems and ability to work by using some application like adobe flash.
Foreign study
According to Eisenberg and Johnson (2002), there seems to be a general
consensus among the public and educators that students need to be “computer literate.” However, these authors raise some interesting questions on the meaning of computer literacy: “Can a student who operates a computer well enough to play a game, send email or surf the Web be considered computer literate? Will a student who uses computers in school only for running tutorials or an integrated learning system have the skills necessary to survive in our society? Will the ability to do basic word processing be sufficient for students entering the workplace or post-secondary education?” Their answer was, “clearly not.” Some related studies There have been different studies that focused on the facilitation of e-learning. Bleimann (2004) stated that “e-learning is a self-directed learning based on web-based technology” and that “e-learning is a form of collaborative learning,” while Kersley (2001) mentioned that “e-learning provides autonomy to learn,” but the learners should have “initiative and self-discipline to study and complete assignments.” Schott, et.al. (2003) noted that the success rate of e-learning was very dependent on students‟ abilities to be “self-directed and internally motivated.”
