Topics covered during the training included:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Types of data<\/li>\n
- Data sources and websites commonly used for designing electronic surveys in the region.<\/li>\n
- Introduction to surveys, with advantages and disadvantages.<\/li>\n
- Designing forms and their importance.<\/li>\n
- Methodology and standards for building a survey.<\/li>\n
- Types and sections of surveys.<\/li>\n
- How to create high-quality and effective forms in terms of content and structure.<\/li>\n
- Types of questions in a survey.<\/li>\n
- Common mistakes to avoid when writing forms.<\/li>\n
- Important notes for form designers.<\/li>\n
- Steps to create paper forms for each group to later implement in Kobo Toolbox<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Day 2 focused on:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Getting familiar with the Kobo Toolbox application and creating personal accounts.<\/li>\n
- Practical explanation and use of all question icons, including closed, open, and mixed question types.<\/li>\n
- Understanding skip logic and setting conditional questions while avoiding programming errors.<\/li>\n
- Using validation criteria, adding codes, and defining question-specific conditions.<\/li>\n
- Performing calculations and coding formulas.<\/li>\n
- Adjusting form settings and understanding the function of each option.<\/li>\n
- Making questions mandatory and modifying values for closed questions, explaining the importance of data column changes.<\/li>\n
- Learning calculations and setting up matrices, publishing links, and accessing analyzed data.<\/li>\n
- Participants created their own surveys individually<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Due to the importance of the training and the value gained, participants suggested a third day to reinforce the knowledge. Day 3 included:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Conditional questions and modifying data column values.<\/li>\n
- Calculations and validation criteria.<\/li>\n
- Writing codes, setting conditions, and using formulas for summation.<\/li>\n
- Republishing and editing links.<\/li>\n
- Opening links online or offline.<\/li>\n
- Form settings and page layout adjustments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
By the end of the training, participants successfully designed their own electronic surveys in Kobo Toolbox, reflecting their needs and work areas.<\/p>\n
They were able to analyze collected data and extract results practically, demonstrating high proficiency in applying the program independently, reflecting a deep understanding of the tools and their potential use in future work.<\/p>\n
