Into the World of Online Mapping

Discover the power of cloud-based GIS with Into the World of Online Mapping, the second workshop in our three-part ArcGIS series! This course introduces ArcGIS Online, a self-standing, user-friendly platform for creating, sharing, and collaborating with interactive maps and spatial data.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is perfect for researchers and PhD students looking to incorporate web-based GIS into their research.

No prior GIS experience is required, as ArcGIS Online is intuitive and beginner-friendly. However, familiarity with GIS concepts or completion of Introduction to ArcGIS (part one in this series) is highly recommended for a smoother learning experience.

Goal

Learn how to use ArcGIS Online to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data, create interactive web maps, and collaborate effectively in a cloud-based environment. Gain the skills to share your research insights with a broader audience using dynamic, web-based tools.
