Course Description

Data collection is an integral part of any monitoring and evaluation process and is a key ingredient of informed decision-making. Data collection was in the past executed through paper and pen methods, which made them prone to error, inconveniences, and high costs. Nowadays, instead of collecting data on paper using a pen, data is inputted into a mobile device which is then capable of exporting directly into a centralized database for processing and analysis. Open Data Kit (ODK) is a suite of tools that allows data collection using Android mobile devices and data submission to an online server. This training will equip the participants with the skills to author survey questionnaires and manage mobile data collection platforms using ODK.
