Previously, data collection relied heavily on paper and pen methods, which often resulted in errors, challenges during large-scale implementations, and increased transaction costs. However, advancements in information and communication technology (ICT), particularly through mobile devices and software, have enabled users to create surveys and collect, manage, and upload data to storage facilities in real time. These technological innovations have significantly reduced the traditional challenges faced in remote data collection. One of the most widely used tools in this field is ODK (Open Data Kit). ODK is utilized for a variety of applications, including election observation, rainforest monitoring, outbreak tracking, survey administration, rapid assessments, baseline studies, mid-term and end-term project evaluations, market research, and disaster management, among others.
