- * Muddy
points: Module under construction.
Preview of
draft survey
- *How does
each student prefer to study: alone or in a group?
(classroom research to help faculty and students learn
about the influence of study patterns on learning
outcomes)
- * Small Group Instructional
Diagnosis (SGID) - Feedback to improve a
course or workshop
- Scanning in midterm to discover how to improve a
course - this module (under construction) will show how
to use
a feedback form like this one to gather a range of
information and suggestions for improving a course.
- Engaging Assignments and Activities:
Learning is largely influenced by how much time and
attention students invest in homework and class
activities. So this feedback form is designed to
discover how useful and interesting each student thinks
each activity was. This ARQ module is especially
important for hybrid and online courses, where it's
crucial that students keep up with homework.

Guide to offering workshops on how to use this survey.
- Setting the rules (e.g.,
missing test, appropriate laptop use in class) by
student vote after first day of class (coming soon)
- Feedback to improve
use of slides and
other presentation materials.
- Feedback to improve
participation rates in online discussion and collaboration.
- Feedback to improve the use of
personal response systems
(also known as "clickers," classroom voting systems,
etc.).
- Feedback to improve use of electronic portfolios in
a course. (Click here
to see material, now under development, on which this
module will ultimately be based.)
- Feedback to help develop a sense of community in a
course or degree program. (Very early draft of a
possible feedback form.)
- Feedback on library and other
research resources. (Early stages of construction.
Here's a first draft
of the feedback form.)
- "Questioning
an Instructional Use of
Technology" helps faculty develop their own
productive questions to ask about an instructional use
of technology in a course. This tutorial is about to be
revised and updated.
What topics should we add to this list?
these topics are each quite interdisciplinary, but ARQ
materials could also be specific to a discipline or even to
a single course.
Forms marked with an asterisk can be used
without modification, if the faculty member wishes. So, with
a tool such as Flashlight Online or Qualtrix, someone else
could create a copy of the form and simply give the
instructor two URLs: one for the students to respond, and to
see the data. All local Flashlight contacts with Flashlight
Online 2.0 should have access to the ARQ survey forms (in a
folder called "Flashlight:
Using Student Feedback to Improve Courses (ARQ)." These
contacts also have the authority to give access ("share")
this folder of surveys with any interested Flashlight Online
user at their institution. (If you're one of the two
contacts at your institution, and don't yet have this
folder, email us -- flashlight at tltgroup.org.)
We are also developing other materials that local ARQ
leaders are likely to need including:
