Location Data: Free Online GIS Course Available from ESRI
ESRI, the leading GIS
software producer, is offering a free online course for learning about the

course is for users who have knowledge about data analysis but want to learn
more specifically about location-based spatial data analysis.
Free access to the full analytical capabilities of ArcGIS Online (ESRI’s
cloud-based GIS platform) is available during the course.
The course implements
hands-on exercises, short video lectures, quizzes, case studies, and discussion
and lasts six weeks, with two to three hours of study per week. A certificate of completion and prizes are
awarded. The course begins March 4,
2015. Register to save a place in the
