dc.description.abstract	The Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at UNISA has adopted a new method of assessing students who has registered for End-User Computing (EUC). UNISA is a distance-education university offering tuition to students world-wide. A student who now registers for EUC with UNISA, in effect registers for the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL). This requires the student to do 7 tests on computer throughout the course of the year, instead of writing a written exam at the end of the year. In this paper the reasons why the ICDL approach was adopted, the way it is implemented at UNISA, the advantages offered by the approach and the results obtained to date, are discussed.	en
