On Thursday, August 25th, Toronto will hold its FOURTEENTH Open Data Book Club (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DiBSloGRl0&feature=youtu.be&t=3h15m34s)... an idea borrowed from Open Data Ottawa (https://youtu.be/5DiBSloGRl0?t=3h15m36s).



This concept is the same as a regular book club, but instead of discussing books, we discuss an Open Data Set from either the Municipal, Provincial, or Federal levels of government.



This month, we're looking at the Toronto District School Board Learning Opportunities Index. The LOI ranks each school based on measures of external challenges affecting student success. The school with the greatest level of external challenges is ranked number one and is described as highest on the index.
