Students in WebGIS will explore web-based applications in geographic information science. This course will focus on hands-on practice using and building web-based mapping and analysis platforms, including Google Maps, ArcGIS Online, Leaflet, and Open Street Map. Along with conceptual discussion of how the internet, web servers, and cloud-based GIS services function, students will create and host web services relevant to their coursework, research, or professional goals.
Desktop computers are available at Holdsworth 302 and School of Design 6. If you join the class from Holdsworth 302, please bring your own headphones. The instructor will be based at the Mount Ida Campus.
