Legacy Online Student Survey of Instruction System Retirement

Kent State’s Legacy Student Survey of Instruction (SSI) system was retired on June 1, 2023. This system housed SSI records for online courses through Fall 2013 and was replaced by the current Flash Survey product in Spring 2014. 


I am an academic unit leader and would like to add additional questions to the Flash Survey; how do I do that?

You will be able to add additional questions to surveys that belong to your academic unit via the Question Bank Selection Form. You will also have the ability to create custom questions via the same form.

As a course scheduler, what am I allowed to modify in D.I.G.

When data is being verified in D.I.G., any incorrect information needs to be corrected in Banner. The data will be synced back into D.I.G. during the nightly export. Only when the data can no longer be corrected in Banner will a course scheduler correct the data in D.I.G. directly.
