I think the use of enough keywords so that useful results come out when they enter their keywords in. Most of the time, when people ask me to find something for them, I usually tell them to try Google first. Most of the time, they pick search terms that are too broad, or don't bother doing simple things like putting quotes around phrases that they want, or just giving another keyword to narrow down the results, and end up getting all sorts of useless results. I've noticed this from some of my fellow students.
That's really surprising. Here in Canada, from my experience in first year, a lot of my classmates had still not discovered how to use search engines effectively. As for referencing material, we actually spent some time on that, for a writing class.
The idea of a test that can evaluate the ability of students to process all this information is good, but I'm still skeptical as to whether the results would be accurate or useful.
I believe you can use interact's SharkPort disc, and connect a USB cable between your computer and the PS2, or something like that.
I think Datel makes a similar accessory, but I'm not sure.
In addition to this, various manufacturers, such as EMS, make USB-compatible memory cards, or "Memory Adapters" where you plug in a memory card and have the ability to connect it to a PC using a parallel cable.

Well, in a way, I suppose it could sort of promote the original RTCW.... Very, very, fun game for being free, though.
