conference room and online via Zoom. Attended by 24 participants (Male 11,

dynamics are required skills to become a trainer/facilitator. Also, the trainer
must be able to identify the participants, system requirements and venue before
conducting a training. Mr. Sunada taught about the basics of Kobotoolbox and
Kobocollect including the system features and the question types. The
participants were also able to share their sustainability plans of the LGUs,
and the case scenarios on the problems and solutions that can be addressed by
using the ODK. The ToT was made more interesting because of the pre-test and
post-test in Kahoot!, a quiz app that helped the participants understand the
subject better.
