Other survey
systems start you with a blank page. Other survey systems
are single purpose (just single surveys, or just rubrics, or
just student course evaluation, or ...) Flashlight Online 2.0
is different. You can:

surveys, rubrics, and item banks created by other users, including
authors at other institutions;
-
Choose from a
large collection of model surveys and validated
questions created by Flashlight
staff;
-
Add to the power of your inquiry and subtract from
survey fatigue by using
matrix
surveys;
-
Use a
variety of question types to create your own items,
including rubrics;
-

student course
evaluation will see that it is
less expensive and more
flexible than alternatives.
-

scholarship of teaching and learning will discover
exciting options for faculty
learning communities.

response rates (e.g., by tracking who has responded,
while maintaining respondent anonymity.

How to get
Flashlight Online:
"Network" and "Comprehensive Collection"
institutional subscriptions both include unlimited use of Flashlight Online. When a project involving
faculty at many institutions subscribes, all of those
participants can use Flashlight Online. Alliance
subscriptions include one authoring account. All these
institutional subscriptions also include a variety of
related benefits including training, guides to doing
productive studies, materials that can be used to develop
local workshops, and consulting to help do productive
evaluations and research -- our commitment is to help you do
successful studies, not just drop a tool in your hands and
leave.
Are you a
staff member or student at an institution that doesn't yet
subscribe?
We also offer
a limited number of
individual subscriptions that include
Flashlight Online and other member benefits. Here's the
order form.
Flashlight Online 2.0
is powered
by the Skylight
Matrix Survey System, which has been developed by the Office
of Assessment and Innovation at Washington State
University in collaboration with The TLT Group, with the aid
of a grant from the Fund for the Improvement of
Postsecondary Education (FIPSE).
Note to users: the old Flashlight Online
1.0 server will be shut down at the end of March 2010. It is
not technically possible for Washington State or the TLT
Group to copy old accounts into Flashlight Online 2.0, so
users will need to decide if they need to make copies of any
1.0 surveys or to download any 1.0 data before these old
records are destroyed. If a 1.0 user needs assistance,
please contact your local administrator. Local
administrators: if you need assistance, please contact the
TLT Group.
