Data Learning Community
Why Does This Matter?
In January 2021, we launched the Long Beach Data Learning Community (DLC). This new forum showcases our City staff’s open data successes and has enabled us to make continued strides in delivering data to both the public and key City staff. It also provides a platform to educate City staff on data analysis tools and how to use data and evidence to make decisions.
What We're Doing
The Data Learning Community is a forum for City staff focused on making data fun by promoting learning opportunities and featuring projects from teams across the City so we can learn from our peers. So far, the Data Learning Community has showcased open data visualizations from more than 10 City Departments to an average of 60 staff participants representing nearly all City Departments. The DLC also allows the City to surface new ideas for datasets to publish on our open data portal.
