Course description

About the Course

Data collection is a crucial component of any developmental project. In the past, it was primarily conducted using paper and pen, which often led to errors and posed challenges when managing large-scale efforts. CommCare is an open source cloud-based, mobile, and web platform for non-programmers that lets you make apps that you can deploy on Android devices, in the cloud and other cell phone devices.  Data collection is a vital part of any developmental work. This training on mobile data collection and data management using CommCare will equip the participants with skills to author, field, and manage data collection using CommCare..
