The Flashlight TM Program offers a variety of services to help your institution involve more faculty members, staff and students in doing studies. Training is key because, the more people in your institution who do their own studies about their own issues, the greater the benefits from educational uses of technology.
Participants learn to do studies by designing a study during the workshop.
We help you or your team learn to do studies by helping you do a study at your institution. The help is provided through a mix of online instructional materials, online help every step of the way from an expert evaluator, and, if you like, on site visits to help you brainstorm or design your research tools. This is especially important because, over a period of years, a substantial fraction of an institution's faculty and staff ought to learn the basics of designing their own studies. Some of the most common types of events are described below. Intensive Training Workshop For institutions that have joined our Network or subscribed to the Flashlight Tool Series, we suggest scheduling a workshop of a day or more in length, publicized well in advance so that the potential participants can free up their time.
