About the workshop

Does part of your research include site specific locations? Would an interactive web map that includes pop-up photos of these locations help contextualize your research?  

Or do you have some quantitative data that you want to display on an interactive web map?  

Come to this in-person workshop to learn how to use ArcGIS Online, a user-friendly cloud-based GIS platform, to make a web map easily. You will also be introduced to an array of apps and data sources in the ArcGIS Online ecosystem.

Learning objectives

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to: 

• Use ArcGIS Online to import data, change basemaps, change symbology, and make a web map.  
• Understand some features in the ArcGIS Online ecosystem: Living Atlas, apps, and new functions.

Target audience

No previous knowledge of GIS is required.
