While ArcGIS 10.2 will be released shortly we have gone with ArcGIS 10.1 for the fall ’13 semester for a few reasons.

DoIT needed to get software on computers for the fall

The workbook 1 for ArcGIS from Esri that I generally point students to just released the 10.1 edition

For the first time in a LONG time, map documents are compatible across versions. If you install 10.2 on your faculty computer and save an mxd, you will be able to open that mxd in the labs on 10.1

All of that said, if you have heard about a feature in ArcGIS 10.2 that you want access to for your teaching/research/administrative activities let me know and we should be able to get your machine updated. Do keep in mind that our license does limit some uses, but it is very liberal.

Finally, if you would like access to our ArcGIS Online for Organizations credits, email your ArcGIS Online login (username, not the password) and I will add your account.

Enjoy the last few weeks of summer!

We are working to get an installation of ArcGIS Server up and running to provide campus users the chance to publish their ArcGIS content and share their work. This podcast discusses some of the steps you will need to take to get your maps ready for the Cloud.

The census is an important source of information for policy makers and government agencies. The geography inherent in the information collected and that will be available for use in 2011 is notable. We talk about the role of the census and its uses.

Web mapping is connecting the general public with many spatial concepts in ways that even paper maps have not been able to do. With the wealth of tools out there, I touch on just a few of the apps that might be useful in the classroom.

Raster datasets are a key to today’s web mapping applications and much of the earth science/Earth Observation activity.

While the spatial characteristics are a key component of geographic information, the attributes connected to spatial data are just as important. I offer a few examples of attributes of the different data types we have talked about.
