ESCI 29902 - Introduction to Web GIS

Course Credit: 1
INTRODUCTION TO WEB GIS This course is an activity-intensive introduction to the basic concepts in Web GIS. The course is designed to provide interested students a hands-on approach to spatial design and analysis through platforms that enact cloud-only deployment. Students will depict and evaluate spatial data, produce cartographic results, solve problems, and communicate results. Students in all majors are welcome, as weekly examples span many disciplines and societal challenges on local, regional, and global scales. The primary platforms used in the course will be ESRI SaaS (software as a service) tools such as Survey123, ArcGIS Online, and Story Maps, in addition to Microsoft Word and Excel. The techniques learned in this course are applicable to other software packages. [MNS]
