In this hands-on workshop led by ESRI instructor, Brian Baldwin, we will work to improve your ‘mapping game’ to ensure you are highlighting your work in the best possible way when it comes to publishing web maps, StoryMaps, and dashboards.

Building a great interactive web map involves a lot more than just ‘printing’ out a JPG or PDF from ArcGIS Pro. A few critical questions include: How will your labels and symbology change at different scales? What details are in your pop-ups and how are they styled? Should you include interactive charts or graphs? Working in ArcGIS Online, users will better understand basic concepts of how to improve their interactive maps, learn how to build customizable web mapping applications using ArcGIS Instant Apps, and work on dynamic and interactive ArcGIS Dashboards.

This online workshop is jointly hosted by Tufts University and Boston University and is open to all members of the GIS community, both within and outside our Universities.

Access to Software:

This workshop will use ArcGIS Online. We will also discuss some best practices publishing from Pro to ArcGIS Online, but you do not need to have access to ArcGIS Pro for any activities.
