Desktop to Online - The Shift in Higher Education
Wednesday, April 20th, 12:00-1:30pm
Within the field of GIS, there has been and continues to be a shift towards interactive web mapping. Desktop software still plays a critical role, but so much work
can now be done using a tool such as ArcGIS Online. For this workshop, Brian Baldwin from Esri will be joining Katie Grillo as they put on their Adjunct Professor hats and lead the NEARC Community in discussion centered around the shift in higher education
from teaching ArcGIS desktop software to moving more online. Together we will acknowledge some of the challenges and explore potential solutions we can implement. This conversation will be geared towards those in higher education, but all are welcome to attend.
