I recently wrote an essay about 20 ingredients important for a vibrant and sustainable geospatial program in higher education. I am following that with 20 ingredients that are important for a successful geospatial program in schools.

Attention to ArcGIS Online Administrators

ArcGIS Online Organization administrators that have enabled Signed and/or Encrypted Assertions in alignment with ArcGIS Online Best Practices for SAML Security need to obtain the new ArcGIS Online Service Provider metadata file + certificate and associate it with their SAML Identity Provider.

Sometimes it's not cheating if you copy someone else's work. Sometimes it's a great way to get started understanding how to do something yourself. When working with dashboards, looking at the guts of a dashboard you love is a great way to figure out how to make similar dashboards for your own projects.

Resulting from the work I have been engaged together with colleagues during the past several decades in supporting and fostering geospatial programs in colleges and universities around the world, I offer these 20 ingredients important for success with geotechnologies on campus for your consideration.  As with any "top" list, these ingredients are open to debate:  Therefore, I welcome your comments; the challenges you have faced in building and sustaining your own program, and your own recommended best practices.

“Ahhh! Our storage is at 110%... what do we do!??!” We don’t hear this every day, but it’s definitely a recurring conversation with ArcGIS Online administrators. As ArcGIS Online use grows across campuses, many of our users have started to see their ‘feature storage’ nearing 100%. While there are a range of ways to delete content and manage users, the focus of this blog is to simply show you how you can use the ArcGIS Online report functionality to take action on items (and users) that are eating up the majority of your organizations storage.

The last release of ArcGIS Online included the ability to publish 'Custom Web Tools' that could be used in the MapViewer analysis pane. What this means, is that users can utilize the ArcPY and ArcGIS API for Python libraries from within MapViewer.

Of all my blogs, here are what I think are the most useful today. And a little thank you.

Discover how to use ArcGIS tools to analyze and visualize climate data, create 2D and 3D dynamic maps and apps, and develop workflows that facilitate climate research.

An intermediate-level story maps workshop was recently developed and taught by my colleague and I for students, researchers, and faculty in a university, but it could be used in other educational settings where people want to further develop their story map skills.
