Description
Previously, research organization used paper forms for data collection, but currently, all organizations are using mobile devices to collect data. Due to the many advantages of mobile data collection, institutions are adopting this method, as it ensures better data quality, faster data collection, and more cost-effective data gathering.
One of the best platforms for mobile data collection and form creation is KoBoToolbox. This platform includes a mobile app and web-based tools for data collection, data aggregation, data management, and data visualization. It is the most feature-rich tool available and can be used across an organization’s data management cycle.
