The International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) is an International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) assessment, first conducted in 2013, that measures eighth-grade students' ability to use computers to investigate, create and communicate, alongside their computational thinking skills in later cycles. It surveys students, teachers and school leaders about digital literacy instruction and access to information and communication technology in schools across participating education systems.
