Moursund, D.G. (1975). Computer Literacy Quiz. Accessed 1/5/06: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/~sepratt/computing-quiz.html. This quiz was created by Professor David Moursund from the University of Oregon. He created the quiz for the first day of his students' 1975 winter term computer concepts course. The average score was 14.75 (random guessing would have produced an average score of 12). The quiz was later published in The Best of Creative Computing Volume 2 (1978), by David Ahl. It is an excellent resource for looking at how much the nature of computer literacy has changed in such a short period of time.
