What is Deployment?
Deployment refers to how M2C2 assessments are delivered to participants and how they are integrated into your study workflow.
Assessments created with m2c2kit can be deployed to:
- Mobile browsers
- Native apps (iOS and Android)
- Desktop browsers
M2C2 is designed to be "Mobile First." Assessments are intended to support high-frequency, repeated administration, such as ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and daily diary study designs. For more information about the development and intended use of M2C2, see our OSF Paper.
Not Sure Which Deployment Option to Use?
Deployment options differ in areas such as scheduling capabilities, offline access, data storage, cost, technical requirements, and how assessment data are accessed and scored.
If you are unsure which approach best fits your study, use the M2C2 Study Setup Guide to compare deployment options based on your study's needs.
Deployment Options
M2C2 assessments can be deployed using several research platforms and approaches. The best option will depend on your study design, technical needs, available resources, and desired features.
We provide deployment guidance for:
Qualtrics
Integrate M2C2 assessments with Qualtrics for deployment alongside your study surveys.
View the Qualtrics Deployment Guide
MetricWire
Deploy M2C2 assessments through MetricWire using either web URLs or embedded assessments, depending on your study needs and MetricWire setup.

NeuroUX
Deploy M2C2 assessments within the NeuroUX platform using its integrated study environment.
REDCap
Deploy M2C2 assessments using web URLs within a REDCap study.

Self-Hosting
Teams with the necessary technical expertise can also self-host M2C2 assessments. This option may be appropriate for customized deployments or studies that require greater control over their technical infrastructure.
