When Technology Hits the Sidewalk: Empowering community residents through 21st century data collection tools 

10-16-2014 13:09

Session Number 461 at #Eval14: The conversation around 21st century data collection methods continues to evolve, but little work has been done to employ these methods to empower community stakeholders as part of the data collection process. This session will detail how DCPNI conducted a representative community survey using innovative data collection methods within an inclusive evaluation framework by employing community members as agents of community data collection. We will address the challenges faced in implementing a survey of significant scope, including time constraints, unknown literacy levels of survey participants, and inconsistent access to the internet, and detail how these challenges were overcome. The session will include a step-by-step demonstration of DCPNI's use of Key Survey Software to administer surveys on tablet devices with offline capability. We will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of our approach compared to alternatives and outline how the collected data will be utilized to benefit the community going forward.
