CALTAP is hosting an online Geographic Information Systems (GIS) training class that introduces basic concepts, tools, and applications needed to begin creating useful, informative, and data-rich online maps.
Designed as a skill path for the non-GIS professional, this course offers examples of how this technology is being used within state/municipal DOTs and how having a fundamental understanding can improve your ability to collaborate with GIS team members, consultants, or departments.
Learning objectives for this 4-hour course include:
- Understanding basic GIS concepts and applications
- Understanding the use/value of GIS in local agency operations
- Attaining basic GIS competencies without a technical background
- Accessing available GIS resources to build a data-rich web map
- How to identify, tag, and collect asset location data
Participants are encouraged to bring their own dataset if available; CSV, GeoJSON, and KML file types are all supported.
This event will be hosted on Zoom. Registered attendees will receive a course agenda, pre-class assignment, and login instructions approximately 3-4 days ahead of the class event. Note that your registration and login are assigned to you, only one attendee will be permitted per registration.
Should you be unable to attend the class, your login may be transferred to an alternate participant.
