IT literacy, the ability to use computers and other technologies to improve learning, productivity and performance, has become essential. To help students acquire this fundamental skill, the University provides a training and test package targeted at basic IT skills: the basic operation of a computer, skills in using application software in electronic communication, data management and information presentation, and an appreciation of the social implications of developments in IT. IT Proficiency Training The University has set up an IT Learning Centre to cater for the training needs of the students. A self-learning courseware in a hands-on tutorial mode is also available for use by those who wish to be trained before taking the IT Proficiency Test. Students may use the courseware at the Centre, or access the courseware through several servers on campus. Some Faculties and Departments have also set up self-learning centres for their own students. The training is entirely voluntary. For details, please browse the Student IT Competence (SITC) homepage <http://www.sitc.cuhk.edu.hk> . IT Proficiency Test All students are required to sit an IT Proficiency Test. They are required to make their own bookings for a test session at the IT Learning Centre when they are ready for the Test. Multiple attempts are allowed. First-year students who
