The Power of Online Maps for Outreach: Diversity & Inclusion Issue Corps

Are you looking to add interactive maps to your Esri Story Map? Or are you simply ready to use online maps to share information with your colleagues or your outreach audience? Esri’s ArcGIS Online is one of the most powerful tools currently available to make and share online maps (and no programming knowledge required!). You can create maps using your own data in addition to using data posted online by people and organizations throughout the world. Whether you are using a free ArcGIS Online public account or a subscription account, you will be amazed at the ways in which you can share information and spread your outreach message. This webinar covers the basics of creating maps with ArcGIS Online and features examples of how they can be used in outreach activities, particularly through incorporation in Story Maps.

Although this session has a specific focus to the eXtension Diversity & Inclusion Issue Corps the content may be applicable and interesting to others who are welcome to join.
