From 1991 through 2000, incoming medical students (M-Is) at the School of Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University have been surveyed with a written questionnaire on their computer literacy. The survey's purpose is to learn the students' levels of knowledge, skill, and experience with computer technology to guide instructional services and facilities.
The questionnaire was administered during M-I orientation or mailed to students' homes after matriculation. It evolved from sixteen questions in 1991 to twenty-three questions in 2000, with fifteen questions common to all.
The average survey response rate was 81% from an average of 177 students. Six major changes were introduced based on information collected from the surveys and advances in technology: production of CD-ROMs distributed to students containing required computer-based instructional programs, delivery of evaluation instruments to students via the Internet, modification of the lab to a mostly PC-based environment, development of an electronic curriculum Website, development of computerized examinations for medical students to prepare them for the computerized national board examinations, and initiation of a personal digital assistant (PDA) project for students to evaluate PDAs' usefulness in clinical settings.
The computer literacy survey provides a snapshot of students' past and present use of technology and guidance for the development of services and facilities.
从1991年到2000年，弗吉尼亚联邦大学医学院对入学的医学生（M-Is）进行了关于计算机素养的书面问卷调查。该调查的目的是了解学生在计算机技术方面的知识、技能和经验水平，以指导教学服务和设施建设。
问卷在M-I迎新期间发放，或在学生入学后邮寄到他们家中。问卷从1991年的16个问题发展到2000年的23个问题，其中15个问题是所有问卷都有的。
平均有177名学生参与调查，平均回复率为81%。根据调查收集的信息和技术进步，做出了六项重大改变：制作分发给学生的包含所需计算机辅助教学程序的光盘、通过互联网向学生提供评估工具、将实验室改为主要基于个人电脑的环境、开发电子课程网站、为医学生开发计算机化考试以帮助他们准备计算机化的国家委员会考试，以及启动一个个人数字助理（PDA）项目，让学生评估PDA在临床环境中的实用性。
计算机素养调查提供了学生过去和现在对技术的使用情况的概况，以及对服务和设施发展的指导。
