What it captures

Questions

Education session record

  • At which site was the session held? (required)
    • The site hosting the session.
    • Help: Pick it from the site list. Any registered site is allowed, even one where the ground is left unplanted.
  • Which training round is this session part of? (required)
    • The environmental education round this session belongs to.
    • Help: Usually the workshop round for the region.
  • Which sites had people at this session? (required)
    • Every site the session counts for: the host and the sites whose stewards or owners attended.
    • Help: Pick the host site and every site whose stewards or owners attended. A planted site with no session is not accepted later.
  • On what date was the session held? (required)
    • The day of the session.
    • Help: Today, unless you are entering a paper record.
  • Who ran the session? (required)
    • The person who ran the session, and their role.
    • Help: Pick the person from the people list and their role: implementing partner or fieldworker. Do not write names.
  • Which topics did the session cover? (required)
  • How many people attended, by group? (required)
    • How many attended, by audience type.
    • Help: Add one line for each group. Only count learners, never name them.
  • Which stewards, owners and site managers attended?
    • The stewards, owners and site managers who attended, with their roles.
    • Help: Pick each adult who will look after trees from the people list, with their role. Never add learners.
  • How many questions did each before-and-after quiz contain?
    • How many quiz questions were asked before and after the session, if a quiz was done.
    • Help: Complete only if a quiz was used before and after the session. Record the number of quiz items, not the number of people. Then add one line for each completed quiz sheet below, or leave this empty.
  • Enter each quiz sheet (no names).
    • One line per quiz sheet: the correct answers before and after, with no name. The session’s mean scores are derived from them at load (ADR-0028).
    • Help: One line per completed quiz sheet: how many answers were correct before the session and how many after. Leave a half empty if that person missed that quiz. Never write a name or who it was; the averages are worked out when the record is loaded.
  • Does anything from this session need follow-up?
    • Whether something from the session needs follow-up before delivery or planting.
    • Help: For example a site that is not ready, a steward who could not come, or missing tools or water.
  • What needs follow-up, and for which site?
    • What needs follow-up, and where. Names no person.
    • Help: Do not write names.
  • Photograph the signed attendance register. (required)
    • Attendance register: photograph the signed attendance register.
    • Help: Stick a new QR sticker on it first, photograph it, then scan the sticker. Names stay on the paper; only the photo enters the record.
  • Take a photo of the session. (required)
    • Session photograph: a photo of the session.
    • Help: A new photo of the session, taken now with location on.
  • Any other photo or document (optional).
    • Any other photo or document of the session.

  • Capture-device longitude (decimal degrees) (required)

  • How was this information first recorded? (required)

    • Help: Choose the original capture method. If you are now entering a paper form, choose paper rather than the app used to transcribe it.
    • Choices: NCGS Capture Channels: Dedicated app, Paper, transcribed
