Hands on GIS: Modern Mapping, Spatial Analysis, and Data Visualization
This class will be taught by Joseph Kerski.
8 GISP Credit Hours
This course is intended for those new to GIS, and in particular, web GIS workflows, data services, and web mapping, that wish to learn about how to work with geospatial data (vectors, rasters, and imagery), how to make maps with web GIS, how to collect and map field data, how to do spatial analysis, and how to create web mapping applications (dashboards, instant apps, and story maps). It teaches core content (map projections, databases, web services, sharing), skills (mapping, spatial thinking, analysis) for new users, desktop-only users, or to fill in ‘some gaps’ for intermediate users. The course will be based on the ArcGIS platform but no previous experience with ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, or any other GIS is required.
Students will need to be assigned an ArcGIS Pro 3.x Basic or higher license from their organization prior to class which can be accessed from the web. This should be verified prior to the start of class. If students have no access to an ArcGIS Online account, and do not wish to buy a personal use license from Esri, a login will be provided for completing the class.
- Module 1: Spatial is Special!
- Module 2: Let’s get mapping!
- Module 3: Investigating Relationships, Mapping Databases, Creating Field Surveys.
- Module 4: Communicating Your Results and Spatial Analysis I.
- Module 5: Spatial Analysis II
- Module 6: Editing and GIS Management
In this 1-day course the student will learn the fundamentals of working in a web GIS environment, specifically ArcGIS Online but with connections to other modern GIS platforms. As you begin the class you’ll learn the fundamentals of spatial thinking and analysis, mapping, data types, map projections, and other elements. Next, you’ll learn how to find and assess geospatial data, how to create your own data via spreadsheets, field tools, and other means, and how to make effective maps from your data using filters, effects, classification methods, symbology, popups, and labels. You’ll also learn how and when to share mapped content, how to manage your content, and how to perform spatial analysis on your data with an aim to make actionable decisions. The course will cover a variety of scales, themes, topics, and issues, with the aim for you to take the skills and perspectives you have learned and successfully apply it to your own work.

This course made it less intimidating to switch from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. So glad I attended.

I really enjoyed the Python/ArcGIS course. For me the right balance between detail and overview. Good work!

I thought the course was very organized. The style of presentation and the lesson format worked well together. It made the information easy to understand. -

Class was well organized, well paced and I learned a lot.

Definitely got me "over the hump" of being able to grasp Python.

These courses are great. I am so pressed for time this is the only way I can acquire extra skills these days. Thank you Eric for all your hard work!

I have attended a number of instructor-led training courses offered by ESRI, which are great in their own right, but the Mastering the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API course gets much more in-depth than they often do. I really liked the recommended reading, they helped expand the terms being covered in lecture to concrete examples that could be related back to my work more directly instead of just having the lecture and exercises alone. I learned a lot andwill recommend this and other GeoSpatial Training courses to the GIS'ers I know. Thanks for putting this course together and offering it.

Really good course material. Very relevant subject matter.
Michael Philp, City of Springville, UT
Very informative and knowledgeable course. It help determine which direction I should take my further GIS and web programming skills.
