Education Blog

Esri consistently releases new contents, updates, and resources related to their products, solutions, apps, and applications, as well as best practices, success stories, recorded webinars, and more. Although these resources are posted in various locations, they can be difficult to find.

This blog provides a comprehensive list of all the November 2023 technical highlights and resources from Esri. It is a buffet-style list, so feel free to pick and choose the topics that interest you.

This essay describes selected maps and listings from which GIS programs can be searched and investigated.  These maps and listings may be helpful for students seeking certificates, courses, and degree programs, as well as faculty seeking employment. 

Slides and recordings from a recent hands-on workshop that I co-taught with my colleague for a university community of practitioners have been published.  The workshop was coordinated by a university librarian and its focus was to give skills and confidence to those instructors and researchers who had been using ArcMap for many years, and were now embarking on their own pathway using ArcGIS Pro.
