Dimagi will be hosting the first CommCare Advanced Topics Workshop in Malawi! Applications are due Monday, October 20th.

The workshop will focus on building participants’ ability to use Dimagi’s CommCare platform and build mobile applications for Frontline Workers. While previous CommCare workshops have provided participants with a general mServices overview and an introduction to CommCare app-buildingi, this workshop’s focus will be on building on participant's knowledge of CommCare and developing advanced technical skills needed to deploy and maintain highly-tailored mobile programs.

Because the workshop will focus on advanced material, it will be most beneficial for people with previous experience with CommCare. Workshop applicants who have not previously built a CommCare application will be asked to complete our online tutorial prior to the workshop.

The goals of the workshop are to:

Build CommCare users’ technical skills across three main areas:

App building skills - including advanced technical skills.
Device Management - installing, updating, and troubleshooting applications.
Project Management - utilizing reports, exports, supervision tools, dashboards, SMS for performance improvement, etc.

Share general best practices and lessons learned with participants from other CommCare projects
Foster a CommCare user community in Malawi
Get input from users and identify new features to add to the CommCare roadmap
