One of the toughest tasks in developing a
study is figuring out what to study, and using that focusing
process to develop a means of inquiry. Aaron Cohen, Prof. of
History at California State University, Sacramento, has been
experimenting with the use of the Web and other technology in
his courses. The materials below tell the story of early stages of the
development of a survey to help understand and improve these
applications. This web site has been designed for use in
a hands-on Flashlight workshop. This site, which is still
under construction, has been developed
with the support of the Visible
Knowledge Project (VKP), in which Prof. Cohen and his university
(California State University, Sacramento) participate.
Caution: This site has been developed to
support workshops facilitated by Flashlight or VKP leaders.
The materials may not always be self-explanatory.
- Introduction

Statement of Problem
- Ehrmann annotation of Cohen Statement
(red for technology, green for
activity, blue for outcome)
- Triad Chart
- Ehrmann notes on triads, possible survey designs (partial, rough draft)
- Ehrmann
draft of survey for Cohen
- VKP staff, funded by a FIPSE grant, have also
worked with Aaron Cohen on more qualitative forms of inquiry:
using student dialogue and work to develop Cohen's
understanding of how his students learn. As with the materials
above, their web
site describes the process of narrowing the question.
"SoTL" is an abbreviation for "Scholarship
of Teaching and Learning."
