Deployments in Lumi

Deployments are how you share your interactive content with learners in Lumi—and how you collect their responses.

They turn your content into a live activity that can be accessed via:

  • 🔗 A direct link

  • 🌐 An embedded widget (e.g. in your LMS or website)

  • 📱 A QR code

At the same time, deployments store all learner interactions and answers.

What is a Deployment?

A deployment is a shared instance of your content, typically used for a specific group of learners (e.g. a class).

When you create a deployment:

  • Your content becomes accessible via a link, embed, or QR code

  • Multiple learners can access the same deployment

  • Each learner’s responses are stored individually, but all within that deployment

Think of a deployment as a container for one activity, where:

  • The content is shared with a group

  • Each learner interacts with it separately

  • All responses are collected in one place

What Are Deployments Used For?

Deployments are used whenever you want learners to actively work with your content.

Common use cases:

  • Classroom activities

  • Homework or assignments

  • Assessments and quizzes

  • Embedding in LMS or websites

How Responses Work

Each deployment collects responses from all learners who access it.

  • Every learner interaction is stored separately

  • All responses belong to the same deployment

  • You can review results per learner and per activity

Important:

  • A new deployment starts with no responses

  • Responses are not shared across deployments
