Flashlight Online
1.0 Tutorials
A Flashlight Online 1.0 member group is a
shared workspace for where authors (who are members of that
group) can store, find, copy, administer, and analyze
surveys. An author has to first access a member group
before the controls for authoring appear. Also visible will
be surveys created by other authors using that same group
and summaries of data from those surveys.
Member groups are under the sole control of
the local administrators. Only the local administrator
can create groups, archive them, and grant or deny authors
access to groups.
You (the administrator) can give selected
authors from other Flashlight Online using institutions (and
TLT Group staff) access to any of your groups if you choose.
The wisest use of member groups is to define
them by topic. For example, an institution might have a list
of groups, some of which have titles such as these:
-
Classroom feedback surveys: generic
-
Accreditation self-study and program
review surveys
-
IT department surveys (evaluation of
technology pilot tests)
-
Teaching center surveys (evaluations of
faculty support and development)
-
Social science research 102 (student
surveys)
-
Faculty council surveys (surveys of
faculty opinion)
-
(etc.)
With Flashlight Online 1.0, authors can only
see the groups of which they are already members. So, if you
want to entice authors to use member groups to organize
their work, you'll probably want to:
-
Periodically survey your authors, asking
them which groups they'd like to use (existing as well
as ideas for new groups)
-
Post a web page that describes existing
groups and their purposes.
