Learn how to use your creativity to harness the power of imagery, maps, text, and other media to help tell your story in a unique and interactive style using ArcGIS StoryMaps.
This half-day course focuses on the new ArcGIS StoryMaps, highlighting how it is different from Classic StoryMaps and detailing its advanced capabilities. You will learn how to create a story from a quick start template and explore the list of well-refined themes and content blocks that can be used to customize and design your Story.
The course will dive into the creation of dynamic Express Maps from the ArcGIS StoryMap Builder and how to share and manage your stories after they have been published. In addition, you will learn how to create collections to group your items together which will allow you to share or present them as a cohesive and navigable set of items.
This course is intended for beginner students who may have some knowledge of ArcGIS Online and are looking to expand on their understanding of how to create interactive, online applications. No scripting skills necessary.
Students need to have their own computer hardware and either a free public AGOL account, a Storyteller license, or an ArcGIS Online Creator user-type or higher with a valid login.

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

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.
