Open Data Kit

Open Data Kit (ODK) is a free and open-source set of tools which help organizations author, field, and manage mobile data collection solutions. ODK provides an out-of-the-box solution for users to:

1. Build a data collection form or survey;
2. Collect the data on a mobile device and send it to a server; and
3. Aggregate the collected data on a server and extract it in useful formats.

I’m investigating this for use at work, and so far I’m loving it! Just the sort of simplicity, and (it has to be said) correlation to the office-people’s ideas of forms-that-get-filled-in, that I’ve been looking for.
