A city open-data portal class debates bulk download versus a live API for neighborhood groups. How should the instructor frame that content?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Neighborhood groups do not need a preacher; they need a scorecard. Lay out advantages and disadvantages of bulk download versus a live API so they can pick the fit—not hear that one tool is always the winner.
Full Explanation
When the objective is choosing among options, advantages-and-disadvantages is the content organization that matches. Bulk download and a live API each have tradeoffs for neighborhood groups such as freshness, skill, bandwidth, and stability. Declaring one tool always right, teaching only a preference, or random assignment hides those tradeoffs. CTT+ 2A expects the instructor to structure the comparison so learners can decide against the objective.
