This session will cover how to collect Traditional Ecological Knowledge and other information while offline in the field and sync it to a map, using Android mobile devices and Open Data Kit, an open source platform. Participants will learn how to collect, host and view information in a spreadsheet and on a map. You’ll also learn to build and deploy the survey forms, that can include questions, GPS readings, photos, audio and more.
