Who should take these courses
These are hands-on courses for anyone who wishes to learn how to setup a mobile based system to collect, manage, analyze and map data.
About the instructors
The instructors are seasoned implementers of mobile based data collection systems in custom android apps, ODK, KoBoToolbox, CSEntry, ona.io, Survey CTO, MAgpi, Mobenzi among others.
About these courses
In the past, data collection was performed using paper and pen, which made it prone to error, difficult to conduct on a large scale, and high in transaction costs.
ICT tools such as mobile devices and software that allow users to create surveys, collect, manage and upload data to storage facilities in real-time have reduced the conventional challenges associated with remote data collection.
One of the commonly used tools are KoBoToolbox and ODK . These tools have been used to observe elections, monitor rainforests, track outbreaks, conduct one-off surveys, rapid assessments, baseline studies, project mid-term evaluation, project end-term evaluation, market research, during and directly following disasters and in many other cases.
These courses are a hands-on, step by step guide that will teach learners how to setup, administer and manage a mobile based data collection platform using ODK and KoBoToolbox.
What can you do with ODK and KoBoToolbox
Build complex forms with skip logic and validation
Collect data offline on a mobile device and send it to a cloud server
Map data
Visualize, manage and analyze data
Store collected data on a server and extract it in useful formats for analysis
Course Objectives
