Flashlight Online 2.0 is an
amazing,
inexpensive web-based system for building and sharing
surveys, rubrics, ballots and other forms. This new
system is now in limited beta test release for all TLT Group
subscribing institutions.
-
Matrix surveys: different
groups of respondents can be sent different mixes of
questions, and at different times. Even the wording of
survey text can be tailored for different groups of
respondents. (Click
here for an explanation of matrix surveys.) This is just one of many features that
makes Flashlight Online ideal for
student course
evaluation while also providing survey engines for
faculty and student use. Matrix surveys enable authors
to develop shorter surveys for studying complex topics.
-
Support
communities of inquiry: Authors can draw on
validated item banks and model surveys.
Authors can also search for surveys, rubrics and item
banks created by a hundred other institutions.
-
Boost
response rates (e.g., by tracking who has responded,
while also maintaining respondent anonymity (if
desired).
-
Several options for assuring security.
-
Option to display
reports to respondents as soon as they complete
a survey.
-
Exceptionally user friendly and cost
effective. A hosted service, authors and
administrators need only a web browser.
Developed with support from the Fund for the Improvement
of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), Flashlight Online 2.0 is
designed to support new approaches to student course
evaluation, with each section receiving a different,
tailored mix of questions, including questions from the
instructor. The system will advance the scholarship of
teaching and learning because of the ease with which faculty
can study changes in teaching and learning, build on the
work of others, and publish their tools and data online. The
system can be used for longitudinal studies, accreditation
self-studies, assessments using rubrics, benchmarking, and
even elections.
Flashlight Online 2.0 and 1.0
have been developed, and are operated, for The TLT Group by
Washington State University's Center for Teaching, Learning,
and Technology. Powered by CTLT's Skylight Matrix Survey
System; the system includes Flashlight™
item banks, model surveys, and the ability to search for and
adapt surveys, item banks, rubrics, ballots, and other
online forms developed by authors at other Flashlight Online
user institutions .
