Information Technology
Advances in information technology have opened exciting new avenues for how research is conducted, with huge implications to Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). One of these advances is the use of Mobile Data Collection (MDC). Instead of collecting data on paper using a pen, which is then manually entered into a database for analysis, data is input into a device which is then capable of exporting directly into a centralized database for processing and analysis.
EpiCollect is a suite of tools that allows data collection using Android mobile devices and data submission to an online server. This training on mobile data collection using EpiCollect will equip the participants with skills to author, field and manage mobile data collection platforms using EpiCollect.
