7 Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute) publishes story maps with three goals: To showcase interesting and important topics To explore techniques and best practices for map-based storytelling To help enable people to make their own story maps http://storymaps.esri.com/home/

9 Course Website http://www.engr.uky.edu/~rsouley/CE 525/ (class schedule updated regularly) ESRI’s Web Courses http://training.esri.com Must create ESRI Global Account (instructions on the website)

10 Learning ArcGIS 10 8 Training Modules 24 Hours of Work Some class time given Use Certificates to “turn in” homework Print or Email PDF

11 ArcGIS is installed in OHR computer lab Instructions on class website Download trial from ESRI ISO available from UK if required – see an instructor To install on a MAC you must install BootCamp and Windows XP or 7 ArcGIS will need to be activated online every time you load the program (instructions on website) For laptops, you will need to consider this when you are offline Must be installed by Friday, Jan 11 if you want to work off- campus (instructors will be out of the office Tuesday of next week)

12 Write your name on a playing card At any point a random card may be drawn during class Most of these questions will be based on the training modules They will be used to encourage class participation and attendance

13 1. What does the acronym GIS stand for?

14 Geographic Information System AKA: geographical information science or geospatial information studies

15 2. What is a Shapefile?

16 A file used in GIS application to display geospatial data and attributes. Made up of a minimum of a SHP, SHX and DBF file

17 3. What feature would you use to filter a spatial database based on a specific criteria?

18 Query.

19 4. This is a classic GIS tool for analysis of roads, pipelines and railroads used in transportation and utility network applications. This process generates point or linear geometry for database record events referenced by their position along a linear feature. What is it?

20 Dynamic Segmentation or Linear Reference System

21 5. What is the name of a geographic features that divide the world into discrete square or rectangular cells laid out in a grid; each cell can have a value that is used to represent some characteristic of that location?

22 A Raster image.

23 Intro to GIS (6 mins) Intro to GIS Projections (3 mins) Projections Las Vegas (9 mins) Las Vegas Under the Hood (35 mins) Under the Hood Class presentations will be posted on the web
