Learn how to communicate your research to various audiences using ArcGIS StoryMaps — ESRI’s dynamic, online platform for spatial storytelling.

This workshop will introduce you to ArcGIS StoryMaps, a platform designed to display and interpret spatial data in a web browser. StoryMaps offer a convenient, browser-based medium to showcase your spatial data alongside interpretative text, images, and other media. Whether used to expand your audience online or to develop a class project, StoryMaps offer a compelling way to present your GIS-based research.

After participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

1. Utilize data, text, and other media to communicate your work in ArcGIS StoryMaps
2. Act as a more effective communicator by using spatial data
