If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then the Autumn ArcGIS Online Challenge is for you! Have you come across an interactive map on the web and wondered, “How did they make that?” Have you heard about GIS (geographic information systems) and wished you could learn more about how it might be useful for your own research and/or teaching? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then the Autumn ArcGIS Online Challenge is for you! Through completing this challenge, you will: Describe the potential of GIS beyond “dots on a map” and for cross-disciplinary applications Use ArcGIS Online apps individually and in conjunction with one another for common tasks in geospatial projects Develop an outline for using GIS in a research project or teaching assignment relevant to your own work This self-paced, 100% online challenge is designed to be completed over the course of five weeks, with 2-3 hours of work per week. Each weekly module consists of a mix of “lecture” content (i.e., blog posts or videos highlighting key concepts and use cases) and a “lab” exercise, where you will get some hands-on experience with the methods and tools covered in each module. Each Monday during the challenge, participants will receive an email with information about that week’s topic and content, along with instructions for completing the associated activities. There is no deadline for completing these modules, and participants are encouraged to work at their own pace. Who: Ohio State faculty, staff, postdocs and graduate students When: Self-paced, Sep. 28 – Oct. 30, 2020 Where: Online only, via email prompts Learn more and register here. If you have questions or require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please indicate contact CURA Outreach Coordinator Katie Phillips. Requests made 10 days prior to the event will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date. This online learning path is offered through a collaboration between the Center for Urban and Regional Analysis and the University Libraries.
