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, by a computer, first input defining the assessment instrument;
receiving, by the computer, second input defining an assessment criteria, the assessment criteria related to a plurality of identifying attributes associated, respectively, with each of the plurality of recipients;
receiving a selection of user identifying accreditation attributes matching the assessment criteria;
identifying the selected subset based on those of the plurality of recipients associated with the selected user identifying accreditation attributes matching the assessment criteria; and
deploying the assessment instrument to the selected subset, of the plurality of recipients, having the selected user identifying accreditation attributes matching the assessment criteria.

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.
