Best Practices

Did you know that Flashlight 2 offers collaboration tools? As a survey author, you can permit other folks using Flashlight to access and author your surveys. Additionally, you can:

  • - use templates prepared by colleagues or administrators
  • - use materials prepared by the TLT Group or other subscribing institutions
  • - create multi-institution surveys

For information about survey collaboration at Sac State, see the onlinesurveys FAQs page, or send a message to onlinesurveys@csus.edu .

ONLINE SURVEYS RESOURCES

Online Resources

Reference Guides require the use of Acrobat Reader. Get Acrobat Reader

  • Flashlight Evaluation Handbook
    "How to design productive studies to improve education. Includes sample surveys and forms, guides for designing over 20 kinds of studies from classroom research to accreditation self-studies; how to do productive surveys with high response rates, the Flashlight Faculty Inventory, and more... Available free for TLT Group subscriber institutions." A similar handbook is also available from within the Flashlight program (after you log in, click on the Handbook button at the top). The two handbook are, however, not identical.

  • Flashlight Templates (Flashlight 1 only at this time)
    There are many Flashlight templates available for use in Flashlight. Find a template following the instructions on the Flashlight Templates page and use it to get started with your own. Examples of available templates include Removing barriers to student participation in online discussion and collaboration, Evaluation of "clickers" and other forms of personal response system, and Improving web-based distance learning courses.

  • Asking the Right Questions
    Use the material from the ARQ program (Asking the Right Questions) in order to improve teaching and learning activities in your courses. If you often lecture using Power Point slides, for example, "use an anonymous survey to ask your students whether lecture slides usually click ahead too quickly, too slowly, or at about the right pace." Additional ARQ modules are available from the ARQ Web pages (see modules).

  • Skylight Wiki
    The help pages for Flashlight 2 (aka "Skylight"), can be found on Skylight Wiki. These pages can be accessed from within the Flashlight 2 authoring environment, from the Help link found in the upper right-hand corner of each page. This type of help (from within Flashlight) is context sensitive (if you click the Help button on the Properties page, for example, a help page on survey properties will appear).
