Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Goals:
Students will be able to publish and manage different types of GIS resources on the web using ArcGIS online upon completion of the course. This includes data visualization and analysis. In a project work, students will independently create a self-selected topic as a web application using the knowledge gained from the units.

Contents:
In this course different topics will be presented.
1. Introduction to the topics WebGIS and Webmapping
2. ArcGIS Enterprise in theory and practice (ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise Portal)
3. Geodata preparation for webmapping in ArcGIS online
4. Getting to know different types of web-based map services
5. Introduction to the administration interfaces of ArcGIS online
6. Creation of custom GIS web mapping applications (ArcGIS Dashboards, ArcGIS Web Application, ArcGIS Story Maps)
7. Introduction to Leaflet.js and the creation of simple open source based WebGIS applications

Methods:
Hands-On exercises, Group work, presentation and discussion.
