Evaluation of the student assignments revealed that the vast majority (>90%) of students were able to demonstrate their knowledge of the content-specific, technology-independent portion of each question (1A, 2A, 3A; data not shown).
Specifically, 100% of students had correct responses to the content-specific or technology-independent portion of questions 1, 2 and 3 (Part A): 1A, 2A and 3A (Fig. 1A).
One cohort of dental students (n = 78) was evaluated for this project and the results demonstrate that although all students were able to provide the correct response from the content-specific, or technology-independent, portion of the assignment, more than half (54%) were unable to demonstrate competence with a web-based, technology-dependent section of this assignment.
Students who missed one or more sections of the technology-dependent portion of the assignment could be tested to determine if the proportion of those with any particular characteristic (gender, age, race, search preference) falls outside of the range that could reasonably be expected.
Fewer than half (46%) provided correct responses to the information literacy or technology-dependent portions of question 1 (Part B), although a significantly greater proportion of students had correct responses to question 2 and question 3 (89%and98%8%, respectively).
Analysis of this assignment revealed that virtually all students (n = 78) had sufficiently demonstrated their knowledge of major ideas, relating to the content-specific or technology-independent portions of questions 1 3 (Part A), however many students demonstrated lack of proficiency with information literacy and the technology-dependent application of skills (Part B).
