Hi everyone!
Some of you know that we have been working hard to develop a second generation of FAST (which we had to call TooFAST because the domain 2FAST was taken!). Well, we are ready to have you take a look at the new beta-testing site (at: https://toofast.ca). While development is ongoing, we have responded to many user requests for improvements. Currently TooFAST's improvements over FAST are:
- instantaneous sign-up
- enhanced security features
- ability to ask up to 100 questions per survey
- more flexible question formats
- improved question database structure
- many other tweaks we are still working on
Further, the code for TooFAST has been completely re-written in PHP and MySQL and uses AJAX, the core of Web 2.0. We are also happy to announce that we now have 3 co-sponsors for TooFAST©(Mount Royal College, Carleton University and eCampus Alberta) who have signed a 5 year agreement guaranteeing that we remain a completely free service. Finally, and to some our most important development, TooFAST© is an open-source initiative (under the terms of the GPL) and we look forward to working with all users and software developers to improve our service. If you have any questions regarding TooFAST© please send an e-mail to either Bruce or Z
Welcome to FAST - The Free Assessment Summary Tool
Traditionally, teaching assessments are conducted at the end of a course - a practice precluding students from offering constructive feedback while they are still in the course. However, conducting instructor-designed and administered web-based course assessments opens a proactive dialogue with students about teaching, the course, and the entire learning process.About the FAST Project
The FAST project is committed to providing users with a simple online tool for assessing their students' impressions of their courses and their teaching. Using the software does not cost anything so if this is your first visit, become a user and see if FAST would be useful for you and your students. Also, you may want to read the FAQ's and the User Tips to provide you with an overview of the functionality of the software.If you have any questions or comments about FAST, please enter them in the discussion board or send either of us a note - Bruce Ravelli, lead researcher and/or Zvjezdan Patz, lead programmer.
