Hi Ayesha

I came across this work, "A Review of Digital Literacy Assessment Instruments" (up to 2010). Also this Scholar search (2010-2015) may help find more recent material. 

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Sarah

 The ImpaCT2 project from Becta had some innovative ways of collecting data on digital literacies, in particular through using concept maps. The Strand 2 report is below:

With Susan Goldman - I had a grant to look at assessment of digital literacies (which we had to call multiple sources comprehension to get funded ;-)).  Here is a write up of the framework - there are others on my profile as well...

The ICILS study of the IEA has measured information literacy with an interactive test (which is not completely published yet, however):

Hi Ayesha,

I haven't done any work directly in this area; however, I encourage you to visit the research gate page of either Professor Romina Jamieson-Proctor or Professor Glenn Finger who have published work relating to the ICT skills of pre-service and in-service teachers. Regards, Kevin.

This article has been cited over 300 times and it has the best instument to measure digital literacy:

Ferrés, J., & Piscitelli, A. (2012). Media competence. Articulated proposal of dimensions and indicators. Comunicar, 19(38), 75-81.

Dear Ayesha,

I have recently developed a Digital Literacy Scales (DLS). This scale is based on the theoretical framework of 9 C's. The article is yet to be published but we have validated the instrument by using AMOS n it has excellent values.

I think, the dimensions should include knowledge, skills, attitude, and commitment towards electronic tools, systems, devices and resources that generate, store or process data.

This UNESCO report may help in this.
