GIS Education



We've been continually adding GIS Education resources to our website! We recently added a listing of colleges and universities that offer graduate and post-graduate studies in GIS and related disciplines.

In addition to this, we've been locating Free on-line GIS, CAD, GPS and related tutorials that will allow you to do some extra studying from home without having to leave your PC you'll find these resources at http://www.geocomm.com/links/education/index.html

ArcView users' views regarding Training
Is ArcView training worthwhile? What's the best approach to take? What books are best to get up and running with ArcView? Bill Huber has compiled the findings of a survey to help answer these questions.

ESRI Virtual Campus


Introduction to ArcInfo 8

The ESRI Virtual Campus provides online training modules for a variety of ESRI topics. This module begins with an overview of ArcInfo 8, then moves into a discussion of each of the new applications—ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox. Next, you will learn about supported data formats and the new geodatabase data model. You will also learn about customization options for ArcInfo 8 and receive specific instruction on the new standard Windows and Visual Basic for Applications customization environment in ArcMap and ArcCatalog. You'll find the Campus at http://campus.esri.com/free/ Registration is required. Once your signed up you can proceed at your own pace.

Webmapping - Where to Start?
The big question nowadays seems to be... how do I get my maps on the web? Depending on your requirements, creating hyperlinked imagemaps of your data themes may suffice. An excellent tool that will enable you to easily accomplish this in ArcView is ImageMapper. Check out our detailed review of the product and even get a free demo version to try for yourself. If you want to install a map server and serve dynamic maps over the web, I suggest you start by browsing our extensive list of web map servers and other useful software. You'll find the list at software.geocomm.com/utilities/webmapping/ If you want to see some examples of actual websites using various technologies, we've listed over 100 examples for you on our webmapping examples page at www.geocomm.com/links/webmaps.html. This page is constantly being updated so be sure to keep checking in. Be sure to let us know when your server is up and running so we can list your site here.

Other Educational Resources

If you maintain or know of any useful on-line GIS educational materials please tell us about it by emailing to editor@geocomm.com We'd love to feature your educational resource next month!
