In 2019, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) launched two free Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) using CSPro Android and Survey Solutions. Given the successful conduct of the courses and increased demand from learners who could not participate in the first two rounds, ADB has decided to launch a third round of the two MOOCs. The courses are expected to be released on 15 March 2021 and will be offered free-of-charge. We encourage staff in your agency interested in enhancing their skills in CAPI to register online at https://forms.gle/
The course will introduce learners to two free CAPI platforms being used by official data collection agencies: (i) CSPro Android developed by the US Census Bureau and (ii) Survey Solutions designed by the World Bank. Through interactive modules, learners will not only pick up the basics of CAPI data collection, management, but will also be able to develop their own questionnaires and apply these skills to a wide variety of surveys. Students will be permitted to register for one of the two CAPI software platforms.
