Question:
What datasets can I use for my course?
Answer:
The datasets that you choose should be available for commercial use and suitable for your content. Datasets about sensitive topics and datasets containing mature language should not be used. Any datasets that would clearly date the course should be avoided, such as datasets about currently trending topics and datasets that will become out of date quickly.
