Abstract: The authors describe three circumstances under which a student’s ability to download data from the World Wide Web can be complicated, and requires a level of skill beyond what can be reasonably expected of casual student users. The assumption is made that the downloaded data is to be subsequently analyzed in commonly-available data analysis tools. They conclude with suggestions to faculty and administrators on ways students can be supported in downloading data.

Keywords: World Wide Web, data download, quantitative analysis
