The purpose of this course is to train you to use IODA. IODA serves as an online Internet connectivity detection platform. We help the Internet freedom community and Internet users globally to verify a disruption in Internet connectivity and understand the extent of disconnectivity of location and duration. To achieve this we provide a public dashboard that monitors the Internet 24/7 and provides Internet connectivity measurements at the country, region, and Internet provider level.
