Hello Eduardo,

NCES is planning a new computer literacy assessment, I believe for  
this year.  I understand that it will focus on measuring adults'  
ability to use digital technologies to access, manage, integrate,  
evaluate, generate, and communicate information in order to pursue  
personal, professional, and civic interests and goals.   "The  
computer literacy test will measure the ability to navigate the  
Internet, handle emailing and instant messaging, and handle word  
processing and spread sheets."  (Sheida White, NCES, at the NIFL  
BOard Meeting, March, 2006)

Sheida White at NCES might be able to tell you if there have been  
other studies.
