Mobile Data Collection Using KoBoToolbox

About This Course

KoBoToolbox is a powerful suite of tools designed for field data collection, particularly in challenging environments. This free and open-source software enables users to collect data using Android mobile devices and submit it to an online server. This training course aims to equip participants with the necessary skills to develop, implement, and manage a mobile data collection platform using KoBoToolbox. Traditionally, data collection relied on paper and pen, leading to errors, scalability issues, and high transaction costs. However, with the advent of mobile devices and software, users can create surveys, manage data, and upload it in real-time, effectively addressing the conventional challenges of remote data collection. KoBoToolbox is widely utilized for one-off surveys, rapid assessments, baseline studies, project evaluations, market research, disaster response, outbreak tracking, and much more. This course offers a hands-on, step-by-step approach to setting up, administering, and managing a mobile-based data collection platform using KoBoToolbox.
