  NOTE: To watch Vimeo eClips on this page, you'll need a free QuickTime player on your computer. (When you stream the video directly from the Vimeo site, audio and video quickly lose synchronization.) Download the Vimeo video to your computer, using the button at the lower right hand corner of the page. Then watch it with your QuickTime player.

  1. Brief training demonstration. (33 minutes) For novice users of Flashlight Online 2.0. Demonstrates basics of how to create and administer a simple matrix survey to gather useful guidance for improving your courses or workshops.

  2. Designing page one of your survey. How to put your welcome and instructions on page 1 of your survey, along with any logos or pictures you might want to add.

  3. Creating and sharing surveys in folders.  Organize your surveys, rubrics and other online forms into topical folders. Then, if you choose, give another Flashlight author (or another 100 authors) the right to see and use what's in your folder. Great way to build on one another's work while protecting privacy.

  4. How to input a list of respondents so you can assure survey security and send email reminders to people who haven't yet responded (without compromising anonymity of data!). Apologies for the audio!

  5. How to tailor survey text for different groups of respondents (e.g., automatically embedding instructor's names' in feedback forms for a set of workshops)

  6. Matrix surveys: How to automatically choose different subsets of questions, according to the characteristics of each respondent pool (e.g., for course evaluation, only writing-intensive courses get extra questions about writing; only selected science courses get extra questions about laboratory work). Read this web page, and then watch the video linked to the bottom of that page.

  7. How to create the URL that your respondents will use to answer your questions, and then shorten it for use on slides and handouts (4 minutes)

  8. How to create a quick report for a single respondent pool that (if you like) those respondents can see after they finish responding to the survey. (in development)

  9. How to insert a logo, a video or any other media object, along with a caption or other text. (revised)

  10. (NEW!)  Choosing what your respondents see after responding: custom thank you page; responses to date; more resources...

  11. How judges used a Flashlight Online 2.0 rubric to evaluate ePortfolios. (hour-long webcast archive of presentation from Washington State University.)
