What is Deployment?
Deployment refers to the process of making the assessments available to participants.
Deployment documentation is still under construction and not yet complete!
Assessments made with m2c2kit can be deployed to
- Desktop browsers
- Mobile browsers
- Native apps (iOS, Android)
When planning the deployment, carefully consider these two issues
-
What platform will host the assessments? A platform is the infrastructure (software and hardware) that delivers assessments to research participants. It is typically easier to have another software product handle this, rather than manage the infrastructure yourself (self-hosting). Because m2c2kit is flexible, it can be used within many existing research platforms.
-
Where will the participant data be stored? Participant data might be stored within the same platform that delivered the assessments, or the data could be sent to an external data service.
We describe several different deployment approaches, including
- Qualtrics
- MetricWire
- Self-hosting (for teams with technical expertise and/or customized use cases)
