Integrating GIS, GPS, Location-Based Services and the Cloud
GIS is an integrative technology. Professionals use GIS to integrate data from global positioning systems and other sources, and share it via the Internet to capture data and then share it with end users via web browsers. Learn how to use ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online to create a spatial database for collecting data in the field and share it instantaneously with the office or end users. Students will create a database, publish the data the web, collect data from the field and publish it in real time to the web, extract and analyze collected data.
• Summarize the utility of GIS as an integrative technology.
• Develop and publish a database to collect data from the cloud.
• Apply Cloud GIS to capture and share data.
• Apply ArcGIS Online to discern patterns, trends, and relationships in data.
This course is expected to take roughly 180 minutes to complete.
Target Audience
Face-to-face. Advanced users requiring a solution to rapidly collect data using smartphones and the cloud.
