ODK is a set of open source applications which allow one to create a questionnaire form in the Xform format, fill
it out on a mobile phone or tablet running the Android operating system, store and view the aggregated
information on a central server, and retrieve the aggregated data to one’s computer for analysis. Data capture
includes GPS coordinates for real-time mapping of responses in Google Maps, or near-real time once the surveyor
has an Internet connection to send the collected forms back to the server.
GOOLEE is providing support for core and custom development on the Open Data Kit platform. This course

computer exercises, hands-on tablet/phone exercises and use of other PC applications.
