Course Overview
The Open Data-Kit (ODK) course by Android ATC is a comprehensive training program designed for data managers, field researchers, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) specialists seeking to master mobile data collection using Android-based tools. This course prepares learners for the Android ATC certification pathway, focusing on practical skills in deploying ODK for real-world data gathering in low-connectivity environments. With over 2 million users globally and more than 250 million submissions annually, ODK has become the standard in public health, crisis response, and global development sectors. Professionals in roles such as ODK Specialist, Data Manager, and M&E Officer benefit from this training, which equips them with in-demand skills recognized by organizations like UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Red Cross.
Participants gain hands-on experience with core ODK tools including ODK Collect, ODK Central, XLSForm, Enketo, ODK Briefcase, and integration platforms like Power BI, Tableau, Python, and R. The course includes lab exercises conducted in a cloud-based environment where students configure an ODK Central server on Digital Ocean, design advanced forms using XLSForm syntax, and deploy data collection on Android devices via ODK Collect. A key project involves building a fully functional data collection system that incorporates GPS tagging, skip logic, constraints, and multimedia elements, then syncing offline data to a central server. Learners also practice automating workflows using Zapier and streaming real-time data into visualization dashboards, simulating actual field deployment scenarios used in large-scale development programs.
This training prepares candidates for professional recognition through Android ATC’s certification ecosystem, enhancing credibility in the growing field of digital data collection. Certified professionals report career advancement opportunities, with ODK specialists in international development earning competitive stipends—such as the UN’s US$1,000/month internship package—and consultancies with attractive remuneration. Koenig Solutions supports learners with official courseware, hands-on labs, and a Guaranteed-to-Run policy, ensuring access to structured, instructor-led training. Graduates emerge ready to lead digital transformation in data collection, enabling evidence-based decision-making across health, environmental research, and humanitarian response sectors.
