Method and system for selective deployment of instruments within an assessment management system
First Claim
1. A method for selectively deploying an assessment instrument to a selected subset of a plurality of recipients, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving first input defining the assessment instrument;
receiving second input defining a criteria, the criteria related to a plurality of identifying attributes associated, respectively, with each of the plurality of recipients;
identifying the selected subset based on those of the plurality of recipients having associated identifying attributes matching the criteria; and
deploying the assessment instrument to the selected subset.

Abstract
A system of hardware and software provides a systematic and systemic method for performing assessment of the effectiveness of different levels within an institution. The system includes template driven definitions that span multiple tiers of hierarchically arranged operating units within the institution thereby providing flexibility and customization to handle a user-definable model of the institution'"'"'s organization. In particular, instruments may deployed selectively to a variety of different recipients. The selected group of recipients may be based on, for example, demographic, course, program, institution, section, education experience, and section-related criteria.

-
receiving first input defining the assessment instrument;
receiving second input defining a criteria, the criteria related to a plurality of identifying attributes associated, respectively, with each of the plurality of recipients; and
forwarding the criteria and the assessment instrument to a separate computer-based system of the institution, wherein the separate computer-based system is configured to distribute the assessment instrument to those of the plurality of recipients having associated identifying attributes matching the criteria. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 18, 63, 64)
