Learn how to discover data to answer a question

In this module, you will learn where to start looking for data. We begin with an introduction to some of the basics of data – key terms like qualitative, quantitative, machine-readable, discrete and continuous data, which crop up again and again for Data Wranglers. We will then look at different ways of getting hold of data, before setting you loose to find data yourselves!
