In this tutorial, you will be introduced to the basics of the ArcGIS Online Web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) software tool. You will begin by exploring spatial data in the form of map layers that are available on the Web as well as map applications (apps). You will then use the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer to search for content, add features to a map, and save and share your completed map with others.

In this course, you will explore a variety of open-source technologies for working with geosptial data, performing spatial analysis, and undertaking general data science. The first component of the class focuses on the use of QGIS and associated technologies (GDAL, PROJ, GRASS, SAGA, and Orfeo Toolbox). The second component of the class introduces Python and associated open-source libraries and modules (NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, GeoPandas, Rasterio, WhiteboxTools, and Scikit-Learn) used by geospatial scientists and data scientists. We also provide an introduction to Structured Query Language (SQL) for performing table and spatial queries. This course is designed for individuals that have a background in GIS, such as working in the ArcGIS environment, but no prior experience using open-source software and/or coding. You will be asked to work through a series of lecture modules and videos broken into several topic areas, as outlined below. Fourteen assignments and the required data have been provided as hands-on opportunites to work with data and the discussed technologies and methods. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us. We hope to continue to update and improve this course.

After completing this course you will be able to: apply QGIS to visualize, query, and analyze vector and raster spatial data. use available resources to further expand your knowledge of open-source technologies. describe and use a variety of open data formats. code in Python at an intermediate-level. read, summarize, visualize, and analyze data using open Python libraries. create spatial predictive models using Python and associated libraries. use SQL to perform table and spatial queries at an intermediate-level.

Learn how to create and host a school locator map using ArcGIS Online. This video demonstrates how to add data, create a map, and share a map into a website or web map application. It also provides an example of using the School Locator web mapping application template using Web App Builder by Esri's ArcGIS for Local Government team. Please contact k12@esri.ca for more information.

Prior experience of GIS is variable, but a number of PGCE students and in-service teachers reported negative prior experiences with geospatial technology. Common complaints include a course focussed on data students found irrelevant, with learning exercises in the form of list-like instructions. The complexity of desktop GIS software is also often mentioned as off-putting.

As part of your ArcGIS Online school account you get an allocation of credits. This video explores what credits are and how they are consumed inside of an ArcGIS Online account.Recorded September 2020.

This document is a 12-page PDF document that is part instruction, part self-assessment tool, part helpfile reference tool. Users are taken from accessing ArcGIS Online without login, through ArcGIS Online public account, to ArcGIS Online Organization account. Quickly browsable content chunks let users scan topics and focus on those skills and concepts with which they have not yet grown comfortable.

This seminar is an applied study of deep learning methods for extracting information from geospatial data, such as aerial imagery, multispectral imagery, digital terrain data, and other digital cartographic representations. We first provide an introduction and conceptualization of artificial neural networks (ANNs). Next, we explore appropriate loss and assessment metrics for different use cases followed by the tensor data model, which is central to applying deep learning methods. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are then conceptualized with scene classification use cases. Lastly, we explore semantic segmentation, object detection, and instance segmentation. The primary focus of this course is semantic segmenation for pixel-level classification. The associated GitHub repo provides a series of applied examples. We hope to continue to add examples as methods and technologies further develop. These examples make use of a vareity of datasets (e.g., SAT-6, topoDL, Inria, LandCover.ai, vfillDL, and wvlcDL). Please see the repo for links to the data and associated papers. All examples have associated videos that walk through the process, which are also linked to the repo. A variety of deep learning architectures are explored including UNet, UNet++, DeepLabv3+, and Mask R-CNN. Currenlty, two examples use ArcGIS Pro and require no coding. The remaining five examples require coding and make use of PyTorch, Python, and R within the RStudio IDE. It is assumed that you have prior knowledge of coding in the Python and R enviroinments. If you do not have experience coding, please take a look at our Open-Source GIScience and Open-Source Spatial Analytics (R) courses, which explore coding in Python and R, respectively. After completing this seminar you will be able to: explain how ANNs work including weights, bias, activation, and optimization. describe and explain different loss and assessment metrics and determine appropriate use cases. use the tensor data model to represent data as input for deep learning. explain how CNNs work including convolutional operations/layers, kernel size, stride, padding, max pooling, activation, and batch normalization. use PyTorch, Python, and R to prepare data, produce and assess scene classification models, and infer to new data. explain common semantic segmentation architectures and how these methods allow for pixel-level classification and how they are different from traditional CNNs. use PyTorch, Python, and R (or ArcGIS Pro) to prepare data, produce and assess semantic segmentation models, and infer to new data.

ArcGIS Online is a great tool enabling students to run spatial analysis and present their work to through interactive web applications. But how would you enable a lecturer to assess students work without the students having to share their work publicly? Here is a question from a lecturer at a universtiy:The solution is to give the Lecturer a customised Role with additional privilege's to be able to see the users content when it is not shared.

ArcGIS Online is a cloud based service and the physical infrastructure that is runs on has to be located somewhere. The term regional hosting refers to the geographic location of the server that is either running ArcGIS online or storing/processing data in ArcGIS Online.
