Description

This course offers a thorough path for those who want a practical, hands-on understanding of ArcGIS Online. It covers everything from the basic account setup to the more advanced ways of creating interactive experiences. The aim is to guide participants step by step, so they feel comfortable with each feature before moving to the next.It begins with a clear explanation of how ArcGIS Online compares with ArcGIS Server. That comparison helps highlight each platform’s role and sets the stage for what learners can accomplish. The program then looks at account options: public, organizational, developer, and Enterprise. After going through how to create a public account, learners explore the main interface and discover the core tools that are used in day-to-day work. This early focus on navigation helps build confidence when moving through the rest of the material.The next area covers the Map Viewer Classic. Participants practice measuring distances, placing markers, and switching between base maps. They also pick up tips for viewing and handling different layers, which makes it simpler to find what they need. By the end of this part, most feel at ease moving around the platform, which is the foundation for more advanced tasks later on.Data management follows. This section dives into importing various file formats (Shapefile, CSV, TXT, GPS/GPX, and KMZ) and connecting with external services such as WMS and Living Atlas. There’s also guidance on adding tile layers from providers like Google Maps or Mapbox. The overall goal is to make sure learners know how to bring multiple data sources together in one place, which is key for projects of all sizes.After that, attention shifts to symbolization and labeling. Participants learn how to display polygons, lines, and points in ways that make sense for different audiences. Unique markers, color gradients, categorized displays, and clusters are all explored. There is a section on heat maps, which can be very helpful for revealing patterns or trends in large datasets. Labeling is a crucial part of that discussion, since the right text at the right spot can make a big difference in how the data is understood.The program then shifts to editing and data creation. Learners discover methods for drawing new vector features, reshaping boundaries, and adding notes right on the map. This includes working with attribute tables to keep information accurate and well-organized. By practicing these skills, participants gain the ability to maintain up-to-date datasets that fit a wide range of project needs.A deeper look at configuration follows, introducing ArcGIS Arcade. That scripting tool unlocks custom expressions that can be used for labels, pop-ups, or advanced calculations. There’s also a focus on creating dynamic pop-ups, which can include rotating images, charts, and clickable links. By learning to shape these details, participants gain more control over how viewers interact with the data.The web applications segment explains how to craft Instant Apps and Configurable Apps without needing heavy coding knowledge. This means it’s easier to share maps and data with others, whether they are team members, clients, or the public. Designing these apps involves choosing layouts and color schemes that match a project’s goals. The step-by-step process makes it possible to present geographic information in a clean, interactive format.Throughout the entire course, participants work through real-world examples and scenarios that help them practice each concept. By the end, they should be ready to plan and execute geospatial projects, from basic map creation to advanced storytelling. The overall goal is to build a skill set that supports a wide range of professional and personal mapping endeavors, opening the door to unique ways of sharing geographic information.
