Have you ever wanted to create your own maps, or integrate and visualize spatial datasets to examine changes in trends between locations and over time? Follow along with these training tutorials on QGIS, an open source geographic information system (GIS) and learn key concepts, procedures and skills for performing common GIS tasks – such as creating maps, as well as joining, overlaying and visualizing spatial datasets. These tutorials are geared towards new GIS users. We’ll start with foundational concepts, and build towards more advanced topics throughout – demonstrating how with a few relatively easy steps you can get quite a lot out of GIS. You can then extend these skills to datasets of thematic relevance to you in addressing tasks faced in your day-to-day work.

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.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology allows users to make maps and analyze data. Savvy educators have been using GIS since the early 1990s, but online GIS makes it easy for educators to get started quickly, even just learning on their own, online. Here is a sequenced set of resources and activities with which to begin; they start fast and easy, scaffold ideas and skills, and generally take more time and require more background as one progresses, so items should be experienced in order.

ArcGIS tool and tutorial to convert the shapefiles into network format. The latest version of the tool is available at http://csun.uic.edu/codes/GISF2E.htmlUpdate: we now have added QGIS and python tools. To download them and learn more, visit http://csun.uic.edu/codes/GISF2E.htmlPlease cite: Karduni,A., Kermanshah, A., and Derrible, S., 2016, "A protocol to convert spatial polyline data to network formats and applications to world urban road networks", Scientific Data, 3:160046, Available at http://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201646

This resources contains PDF files and Python notebook files that demonstrate how to create geospatial resources in HydroShare and how to use these resources through web services provided by the built-in HydroShare GeoServer instance. Geospatial resources can be consumed directly into ArcMap, ArcGIS, Story Maps, Quantum GIS (QGIS), Leaflet, and many other mapping environments. This provides HydroShare users with the ability to store data and retrieve it via services without needing to set up new data services. All tutorials cover how to add WMS and WFS connections. WCS connections are available for QGIS and are covered in the QGIS tutorial. The tutorials and examples provided here are intended to get the novice user up-to-speed with WMS and GeoServer, though we encourage users to read further on these topic using internet searches and other resources. Also included in this resource is a tutorial designed to that walk users through the process of creating a GeoServer connected resource.

The current list of available tutorials: - Creating a Resource - ArcGIS Pro - ArcMap - ArcGIS Story Maps - QGIS - IpyLeaflet - Folium

This tutorial focuses on some of the tools you can access in ArcGIS Online that cover proximity and hot spot analysis. This resource is part of the Career Path Series - GIS for Crime Analysis Lesson.Find other resources at k12.esri.ca/resourcefinder.

CrimeMapTutorial is a step-by-step tutorial for learning crime mapping using ArcView GIS or MapInfo Professional GIS. It was designed to give users a thorough introduction to most of the knowledge and skills needed to produce daily maps and spatial data queries that uniformed officers and detectives find valuable for crime prevention and enforcement. The tutorials can be used either for self-learning or in a laboratory setting. The geographic information system (GIS) and police data were supplied by the Rochester, New York, Police Department. For each mapping software package, there are three PDF tutorial workbooks and one WinZip archive containing sample data and maps. Workbook 1 was designed for GIS users who want to learn how to use a crime-mapping GIS and how to generate maps and data queries. Workbook 2 was created to assist data preparers in processing police data for use in a GIS. This includes address-matching of police incidents to place them on pin maps and aggregating crime counts by areas (like car beats) to produce area or choropleth maps. Workbook 3 was designed for map makers who want to learn how to construct useful crime maps, given police data that have already been address-matched and preprocessed by data preparers. It is estimated that the three tutorials take approximately six hours to complete in total, including exercises.

This tutorial will teach you how to take time-series data from many field sites and create a shareable online map, where clicking on a field location brings you to a page with interactive graph(s).

The tutorial can be completed with a sample dataset (provided via a Google Drive link within the document) or with your own time-series data from multiple field sites.

Part 1 covers how to make interactive graphs in Google Data Studio and Part 2 covers how to link data pages to an interactive map with ArcGIS Online. The tutorial will take 1-2 hours to complete.

This resource contains the test data for the GeoServer OGC Web Services tutorials for various GIS applications including ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, ArcGIS Story Maps, and QGIS. The contents of the data include a polygon shapefile, a polyline shapefile, a point shapefile, and a raster dataset; all of which pertain to the state of Utah, USA. The polygon shapefile is of every county in the state of Utah. The polyline is of every trail in the state of Utah. The point shapefile is the current list of GNIS place names in the state of Utah. The raster dataset covers a region in the center of the state of Utah. All datasets are projected to NAD 1983 Zone 12N.

NOTE: An updated Introduction to ArcGIS GeoEvent Server Tutorial is available here. It is recommended you use the new tutorial for getting started with GeoEvent Server. The old Introduction Tutorial available on this page is relevant for 10.8.x and earlier and will not be updated.The Introduction to GeoEvent Server Tutorial (10.8.x and earlier) introduces you to the Real-Time Visualization and Analytic capabilities of ArcGIS GeoEvent Server. GeoEvent Server allows you to:

Incorporate real-time data feeds in your existing GIS data and IT infrastructure. Perform continuous processing and analysis on streaming data, as it is received. Produce new streams of data that can be leveraged across the ArcGIS system.

Once you have completed the exercises in this tutorial you should be able to:

Use ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager to monitor and perform administrative tasks. Create and maintain GeoEvent Service elements such as inputs, outputs, and processors. Use GeoEvent Simulator to simulate event data into GeoEvent Server. Configure GeoEvent Services to append and update features in a published feature service. Work with processors and filters to enhance and direct GeoEvents from event data.

The knowledge gained from this tutorial will prepare you for other GeoEvent Server tutorials available in the ArcGIS GeoEvent Server Gallery.

Releases

Each release contains a tutorial compatible with the version of GeoEvent Server listed. The release of the component you deploy does not have to match your version of ArcGIS GeoEvent Server, so long as the release of the component is compatible with the version of GeoEvent Server you are using. For example, if the release contains a tutorial for version 10.6; this tutorial is compatible with ArcGIS GeoEvent Server 10.6 and later. Each release contains a Release History document with a compatibility table that illustrates which versions of ArcGIS GeoEvent Server the component is compatible with.

NOTE: The release strategy for ArcGIS GeoEvent Server components delivered in the ArcGIS GeoEvent Server Gallery has been updated. Going forward, a new release will only be created when

  a component has an issue,
  is being enhanced with new capabilities,
  or is not compatible with newer versions of ArcGIS GeoEvent Server.

This strategy makes upgrades of these custom
components easier since you will not have to
upgrade them for every version of ArcGIS GeoEvent Server
unless there is a new release of
the component. The documentation for the
latest release has been
updated and includes instructions for updating
your configuration to align with this strategy.
