Introduction to ODK (Part 6): Using ODK Collect

This series of videos is designed to help you learn the fundamentals of Open Data Kit (ODK) and mobile data collection. These videos may be helpful for researchers, students or anyone else who may wish to carry out data collection using mobile devices.

In this video, we talk about preparing for and carrying out mobile data collection using the ODK Collect app on a phone. You can see how the survey produced by the XLSForm looks in action. The video covers:

• Downloading forms to ODK Collect
• Collecting data
• Saving and editing forms
• Uploading forms to Kobo from ODK Collect
