Open data that anyone can access, use, and share is increasingly used in teaching and learning not only in areas such as data-science but across a variety of disciplines. Real data collection can be time-consuming and otherwise impractical. With the increasing availability of open data, teachers can carry out research-based learning activities using real data, without having to leave the classroom.<\/h4>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

For this activity, you will find an open data set that you could use in a course you teach or support. Once you identify a data set you will write a short assignment description.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To find<\/strong>\u00a0an open-data set use one of the following data repositories below and search for a data-set related to your discipline or specialization area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Figshare<\/strong>:<\/a> Figshare is a global open data repository. You can find open data for a variety of fields and even visualize it.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Data BC<\/a><\/strong>: Data BC hosts the BC Data Catalog which includes data that is openly licensed with the BC Government Open Data license.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
