adding layer packages to arcgis explorer online?

Hello,

I'm using ArcGIS Explorer Desktop with a graduate class I am teaching. I want to start using ArcGIS Explorer Online as well. I know how to add content such as layer packages to ArcGIS Explorer Desktop, but I am unsure how to add content to ArcGIS Explorer Online. We do not have ArcGIS Server, so I don't believe we can add a GIS Service.

I've created a group for my class on arcgis.com and uploaded a couple of test layer packages. How can I bring these into ArcGIS Explorer Online?

Thanks,
Sarah

You can't directly add layer packages to explorer online. Explorer online supports adding ArcGIS server map, image and feature services.

Hi Sarah,

Currently the only way to add your content to ArcGIS Explorer Online is to have a published service. There is already an Idea posted to our Idea's site to add the functionality, and I highly encourage you to vote it up!

Cheers,
Andrew
