Open Data for Data Producers

The “Open Data for Data Producers” e-learning course is designed to provide a broad overview of Open Data principles and best practices from the standpoint of a data producer, and empower data managers and technical staff with the background and skills to contribute to the Open Data community. Open Data is a growing movement that attempts to remove most of the technical and legal barriers to use of public data, and realize much greater social and economic benefits of data use.

This course is primarily intended for managers and technical staff involved in the production, management, and curation of data, particularly within government ministries. It assumes no prior knowledge of Open Data or specific technical skills, and is particularly intended for individuals in developing countries.

This course provides users with the knowledge and skills they need to understand and manage Open Data effectively and responsibly, and to participate fully in the Open Data community.
