Perform basic analysis with tools like Buffer and Spatial Join. Or, enhance your data, taking advantage of the always up-to-date elevation, streets, and demographics data available in ArcGIS Online with tools like Create Viewshed, Find Nearest, and Enrich. Come for the learning and stay for stories about the old days when we had to create all that data ourselves. Uphill. Both ways!!

All sessions are one hour and assume participants have no previous experience using GIS.  Sessions will be hands-on demonstrations with step-by-step tutorials and expert assistance.  All sessions will be taught on Wednesdays from 2PM to 3PM and are free and open to the UVa and larger Charlottesville community. Late-comers are welcome and encouraged, registration will remain open until the workshop ends. Click here for a full list of our Spring sessions.

If you've attended our workshops in the past, please note that things are a bit different this semester:

• All sessions will be taught virtually, via Zoom.
• Registration is required. This is the best way to get Zoom links out to our attendees without posting the links to the world. 
• Sessions will be recorded and made available, along with our slides and hand-outs.

Please see the Spring 2024 Workshops tab on our Teaching Resources page for more information, including slides, handouts, post-workshop office hours and session recordings.
