Fall Term Workshops

Introductory workshop: Mapping and Data Visualization in ArcGIS Pro

ArcGIS Pro is the latest desktop geographic information systems (GIS) software offered by Esri. The software is available to all registered members of Trent University for academic use, and will eventually replace Esri’s ArcMap software.

We invite all Trent students, faculty and staff to register for a free introductory workshop on mapping and data visualization using Esri's ArcGIS Pro software.

The goal of this session is to teach users how to make a map layout in ArcGIS Pro software. Participants will learn how to perform the following mapping skills: import tabular XY data to a GIS, import spatial data to a geodatabase, apply symbology to data, create and digitize a feature class, edit an attribute table, label features, create a map layout with multiple map frames, and add and format map surrounds (e.g. legends and inset maps).

There is no prerequisite for this workshop. We encourage new GIS users to register and people who are familiar with ArcMap but would like to learn the ArcGIS Pro interface and terminology.

Place:

Data Visualization Lab (Room 402), 4th Floor, MaDGIC Unit, Bata Library, Symons Campus, Peterborough
