Introduction to Geospatial Technology

The Introduction to Geospatial Tech course will start at the ground level of GIS, quickly advancing to some of the powerful analytical tools available. Day One will introduce ArcGIS Pro, focusing on symbology, layout, and geoprocessing. Day Two will move to the web with a focus on ArcGIS Online, working with data, symbology, sharing, publishing and creating a story map. Students will leave with a broad understanding of the concepts of GIS, the capacities of ArcGIS Pro and Online tools, and a general foundation for typical GIS projects. This course will incorporate use of mobile devices to collect data.
