Open Data Kit (ODK) is a suite of tools that allows data collection using Android mobile devices and data submission to an online server, even without an Internet connection or mobile carrier service at the time of data collection. Streamline the data collection process with ODK Collect by replacing traditional paper forms with electronic forms that allow text, numeric data, GPS, photo, video, barcodes, and audio uploads to an online server. You can host your data online using Google's powerful hosting platform, AppEngine, manage your data using ODK Aggregate and visualize your data as a map using Google Fusion Tables and Google Earth.  Created by developers at the University of Washington's Computer Science and Engineering department and members of Change, Open Data Kit is an open-source project available to all.  Learn more at http://earth.google.com/outreach/tutorial_odk_gettingstarted.html 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm on Friday 2/22Workshop 5: Train the TrainerLocation: Bowers Auditorium Sage Hall, Yale University 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm on Friday 2/22Geotechnology and the Future of Sustainability: A Panel Discussion with Rebecca Moore (Google), Professor Karen Seto (Yale), Professor Walter Jetz (Yale), and Professor Dana Tomlin (Yale)Burke Auditorium, Kroon Hall, 195 Prospect St  6:00 pm - 6:45 pm on Friday 2/22Geotechnology and the Future of Sustainability ReceptionKnoblach Center (3rd Floor), Kroon Hall, 195 Prospect St Visit EventBrite.com for pricing.
