ArcGIS Online Story Maps

This is a hands-on introduction to creating a basic web map, or a story around geography, and integrating other types of media such as documents and images. We will use ArcGIS Online, a tool for sharing and manipulating geospatial data and maps, that is available through the campus GIS license. The workshop is designed to show attendees how to map a common type of geographic data, and various ways to represent data spatially, as well as linking it to text and images.

KU students, staff and faculty from any discipline are welcome to come. Please register if you would like to come, and attend the workshop if you register. This workshop may only be offered once a semester. Tell your friends, co-workers, and colleagues so we have enough attendees to make it go!

Prerequisites

We highly recommend that you attend any prerequisite workshops listed below since familiarity with the skills and concepts taught in them is essential to benefit fully from subsequent workshops.

However, if you have independently learned the skills and concepts of the required workshop(s), your "equivalent skills" will be accepted as a substitute for attending the prerequisite workshop(s).

To help you determine your skill level, click workshop titles below (if any) for descriptions which outline the topics taught in each workshop and that are assumed in later sessions. You are expected to know the commands and concepts listed within the descriptions for the prerequisite workshop. In most cases, you can also refer to workshop handouts and other helpful materials from the workshop description page.

In addition to any specific prerequisites listed, you should have, as a minimum, basic computing skills.
