Is there a difference in the frequency of computer usage between the students of the two countries?
Yes. American students tend to use computers more frequently, both at home and at schools than Vietnamese students.

Is there a difference in IT skills between the students of the two countries?
No. Our research found no significant difference. Students of the two countries score similarly on our self-defined IT literacy questionnaire, although American students on average have slightly higher scores than Vietnamese students.

What are some factors that affect how often a student use computer?
The factors identified vary between the countries and between home use and school use. Some interesting results are highlighted below:

• American students with home Internet connection are 50 times more likely to use computers more frequently at home than those without.
• Year of graduation affects computer accessibility at school for both Vietnamese and American students. In Vietnam, seniors do not get as frequent access as juniors. In contrast, in America, seniors access computers more frequently than juniors.
• There is no significant gender inequality in computer access for both schools. In other words, boys use computers as often as girls.
