Many of the FME Academy examples use the City of Vancouver Open Data portal datasets, including Property Parcel Polygons, Addresses, Zoning, Parks, and Street Trees.
These datasets are not generally hosted in ArcGIS Online by Safe Software, but they are available through the City of Vancouver Open Data APIs and can be consumed directly in FME.

FME user can download these publicly available datasets SHPs, GDBs etc from github unpacking them to C:\FMEData\Data which the training workspaces reference.
I would like to suggest either:
- Making the commonly used FME training datasets available as ArcGIS Online hosted feature layers (should their license allow Safe to ETL them to AGOL), and/or
- Publishing an article demonstrating how to consume the Vancouver Open Data datasets directly from ArcGIS Online using:
- ArcGISFeatureService Reader (safe.esri.agol) package
- ArcGIS Online Connector
- Other ArcGIS-related readers and transformers where appropriate
