Information Technology
Advances in information technology have opened exciting new avenues for how research is conducted and data collected, 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.
Open Data Kit (ODK) is a suite of tools that allows data collection using Android mobile devices and data submission to an online server. Training on mobile data collection using ODK will equip the participants with skills to author, field and manage mobile data collection platform using ODK.
Target Participants
Training on mobile data collection using ODK is aimed at organizational staffs who are conducting field data collection activities.
