FLAG - Searchable Tools


Introduction to the Searchable Tools

While the CATs represent broadly applicable assessment techniques, the tools are discipline-specific instruments that are "nested" within CATs (e.g., Conceptual Diagnostic Tests represents a general category of assessment technique; The Astronomy Diagnostic Test is a specific tool for use in an introductory astronomy course). Since some instructors may be looking for convenient, time-saving, discipline-specific tools or instruments that may be implemented directly with only a modicum of additional effort, we have devised a database of appropriate tools. The database can be sorted by discipline or CAT, or searched by discipline, purpose or CAT.

Contributions to the FLAG

Currently the staff of FLAG is accumulating a growing number of such tools, however at present we have only a representative number of exemplary offerings. Please help us add to our menu of exemplary tools! Send your suggestions and tools to FLAG administrator, Dr. Tony Jacob at: atjacob@facstaff.wisc.edu. Your suggestions and tools will be reviewed by the FLAG Editorial Board for possible inclusion in our database. We appreciate your willingness to share your work with a rapidly expanding, international group of committed SMET instructors.
