Flashlight online : an evaluation toolkit

Abstract

Flashlight Online is part of the American Association for Higher Education, Teaching Learning and Technology Group’s (TLTG) Flashlight Program (http://www.tltgroup.org/programs/ flashlight.html). The core of Flashlight Online is the Current Student Inventory (CSI); a bank of approximately 500 ready-made questions that can be used to create an online survey. The questions are designed to help institutions obtain relevant information about common issues relating to learning technologies and their use. Academics, staff developers and learning technologists can select questions, creating surveys which can be edited using Dreamweaver. Surveys can include the author’s own questions as well as ones taken from the question bank. In addition, it is possible to change the font size and colour and tailor the background of the survey form.
