FLASHLIGHT 2.0 ON-LINE:
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:
•Adapt 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;
•Share surveys with others (e.g., instructors teaching survey methods can easily provide forms for their students to adapt or critique; staff can provide faculty with rubrics to adapt; two or more people can co-author a survey online);
•Add to the power of your inquiry by using matrix surveys, tailoring the questions and even the text for each group of respondents;
•Reduce survey fatigue by having two or more groups contribute questions to the same matrix survey (even though they are gathering information from overlapping groups of respondents);
•Use a variety of question types to create your own items, including two kinds of rubrics;
•Save money by using the same tool for surveys, rubrics, and for student course evaluation;
•Strengthen the scholarship of teaching and learning with new tools that are even more powerful when used in a faculty learning community (community of practice);
•Boost response rates (e.g., by tracking who has responded, while maintaining respondent anonymity.
•Flashlight Online is secure. Display reports to respondents as soon as they complete a survey and then allow them to watch as more data comes in.
WHAT IS MOODLE?
It is an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment. It basically helps instructors create e-learning environments for their students.
Moodle is open source software which means that you are free to download it and use it in your organization without incurring any license costs. There are tens of thousands of registered Moodle sites. Moodle's open source license means you are free to modify or extend it, making it versatile for your growing needs.
