As new world events continue more relevant data will be available to collect and analyze. Lumen decided it was important to evaluate and provide online data sets that are currently available. We specifically wanted to look at how each resource will serve our mission of student success. So we analyzed a selection of online data sets that include relevant and diverse data that can stay up to date with the ever changing world.
Please note that Lumen does not currently have any partnerships with these organizations, nor have we been asked to review these data sets. We created this documentation solely to help our faculty and institutions figure out what might work best for their courses. After reviewing over a dozen options, these are the data sets (in alphabetical order) we recommend:
- Census
- Data.Gov
- Data Hub
- Five Thirty Eight
- Google Public Data Explorer
- Kaggle
- Our World in Data
- Unicef
- World Bank
- World Health Organization
