Web and Mobile GIS

Catalog description

This course introduces students to online GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and mobile data collection using industry-standard GIS apps. Students use GPS enabled devices (such as a phone) to gather point, line, and polygon field data. Students post-publish maps and download field-collected data to generate professional maps and dashboards. The course reinforces concepts learned in introductory GIS and shows how desktop, mobile, and web GIS are linked. Prior understanding of GIS is required.
