Throughout the Advanced Geography class, I learned some very interesting concepts with GIS. ESRI Virtual Campus: Creating and Maintaining Metadata Metadata provides a way to document a dataset so that potential users of that data will be able to find it and evaluate it to see if it's suitable for their needs. It is known as one of the five integral elements of a GIS (the other four are maps, datasets, data models, and geoprocessing models), and it is becoming a powerful way to organize and share geographic knowledge. Successful metadata implementation requires inertial thought and planning. ArcGIS software provides the tools that shows processes of metadata creation and maintenance. Certifications for the Metadata ESRI course. Completed 01/28/2011
ESRI Virtual Campus: Learning ArcGIS Spatial Analyst This course introduced the fundamental concepts of using ArcGIS Spatial Analyst tools to model and analyze cell-based data. In the course exercises, I worked within the geoprocessing environment that had let me run ArcGIS Spatial Analyst tools within models (ModelBuilder™), dialog boxes (ArcToolbox™), and at the command line. I also learned how to access additional and more complex functionality through the use of Map Algebra expressions. This course gave me the foundation needed for deriving new information from my GIS data to solve complicated real-world spatial problems.
ESRI Virtual Campus: Learning ArcGIS 3D Analyst The 3D Analyst extension provides the ability to view, manage, and analyze three-dimensional data from a local to global extent. This course provides thorough instruction in getting the most out of 3D Analyst. Certificate of Completion for 3D Analyst.
ESRI Virtual Campus: Using Lidar data in ArcGIS ArcGIS provides many tools for using lidar data to create varied geospatial data products, to provide 3D visualizations, to create intensity imagery for feature detection and classification, and to perform and support spatial analyses. These tools maximize the value of incorporating lidar data in many geospatial operations. Certificate of Completion for Lidar.
Geospatial Competency Model: This Is a worksheet designed to help educators know how their geospatial curricula align with what they have taught to their students in the geospatial industry. The worksheet consists of a matrix corresponding to one of five tiers of the department of Labor's geospatial Technology Competecy Model.
GIS Professional Development (Job Shadow): Observe and Job Shadow a GIS professional for at least an hour and write up a 2 page report. GIS Professional Development (UGIC): Attend at least one SLUG Users group or the AGRC Conference in April, 2011 (2 page report). |
