This workshop will introduce you to ArcGIS Collector, an Esri app, which allows you to use your mobile device as a tool for collecting spatial/non-spatial data in the field and seamlessly add it to a web map. This workshop will appeal to a range of disciplines where researchers need to collect field data, such as biology, ecology, geography, natural resource management, archeology, and more.
The workshop will cover:
- Publish a feature layer on ArcGIS online, change the settings to enable editing, set up attributes
- Create a web map which will serve as the interface for adding data
- Use Collector to add data in the field
- Enable syncing (this is useful for off-line use where connection is low).
Software
- You need to send email to gis-software@sfu.ca to request an ArcGIS online account if you wish to participate the hands-on part.
