This is a one day workshop on Thursday, Nov 9, 2023 on a hands-on introduction to the Esri universe.

ArcGIS Online supports geospatial data processing, analysis, visualization, and the cloud-based sharing of geospatial products. In this one-day, example-driven workshop, you will learn the components of the Esri product family, the four primary geospatial data types, secrets behind effective data visualization, and a unique way to share your scholarly work. Some knowledge of either is highly recommended (you may review a bit about each here). Together we will create an interactive online Storymap by using the same datasets that professional demographers and Gerrymanderers (aka ‘redistricting consultants’) use to manipulate representation in the US Congress.

Prerequisites:

1. UCSB AGO Account. If you do not have one, create one by signing into: https://ucsb.maps.arcgis.com/

(Optional) ArcGIS Pro: You can request a license on our Esri Support site if you have a Windows device. If you are on a Mac, please request a Geospatial VM on the DREAM Lab’s page for virtual machines and remote access.

This event runs on Thursday Nov 9, from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm.

Participants are asked to complete our pre- and post-workshop survey to help us understand how to serve you. The survey links can be found on the class page (see link above)
