Flashlight Online 1.0 is unlike any other
web-based system in its ability to help authors create surveys, small item
banks, ballots, and other online forms. It is appropriate for use by faculty
members, staff, and students, and has been used for program evaluation,
scholarship of teaching and learning, accreditation self-studies, feedback
forms, courses in survey research, and even to provide online voting for
student and faculty elections.

Opportunities for collaboration don't stop with the authoring
process. Pool or compare findings with other investigators at your

familiar Web editing tools; to administer large numbers of user accounts easily; to get simple
analyses of data directly from the system or to easily download raw data
to your own statistical software.
