DEVELOPING AN ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK: MEASURING DIGITAL LITERACY OF INTERIOR DESIGN STUDENTS IN A DIGITAL DRAWING COURSE SOMANG YANG 46 Pages This exploratory study provides a foundation to measure students’ level of learning based on education theory for digital technology and meaningful technology theory for digital literacy. There has yet to exist an effective assessment tool that can evaluate students’ digital literacy. To provide initial insight into the digital technology integrated course development, Wacom pen- tablet and Autodesk Sketchbook were utilized to create an interior design curriculum for undergraduate college students. The findings of this study shed light on the necessity of assessing new technology for integration into coursework in higher education. There are five themes that an instructor must examine when determining whether to use digital drawing tools in a course: (1) effective learning process, (2) ease of access and execution, (3) transformation of perspective about new technology, (4) technology competency, and (5) impact on the work process and continuous use.
