Mobile Workshop Day 3 - iHub

This was the last day of the 3 day workshop which was intended to give participants time to do some hands on experience. We were very fortunate that Tosh, Jessica and Bernard from the Nairobi iHub let us use their fantastic facilities and fast internet for the day.

In the session, David Aanensen took the group through designing a form, creating a digital version in a web browser using EpiCollect, downloading the form to an Android phone, collecting data using the form, uploading the data to the Google App engine server and viewing and editing the data using a web browser.
