Introduction to ESRI Web Training

During the semester, you will be using the ESRI Web Training.  You should have received an email from ESRI inviting you to join the UConn ArcGIS Online Organization (AGOL). It should appear similar to the image below. Once you login, you can take any of the web training courses offered athttps://www.esri.com/training. It is important to pay attention to exactly  which online training course is assigned each time we are tasked to complete these modules. The web training courses are useful in linking theoretical material covered in lecture and practical applications in ArcGIS.

The first link takes you to a document with stepson how to loginto the ESRI portal using your UConn Net ID and password.

1.   To begin, access the following website in your web browser, https://www.arcgis.com/home/index.html.

2.   Next, follow steps 1-3 provided inhttp://s.uconn.edu/agol-loginto login. Note that the most common problem is not selecting to use Your ArcGIS Organization’s URL to login.

3.   If you are successful, you should see a screen similar to the one below. 

4.   While here, you should follow instructions inhttp://s.uconn.edu/arcproto download ArcGIS Pro from ArcGIS Online.

Accessing ESRI  Web  Training Modules

Using a web browser, accesshttp://www.esri.com/training. Note: if you do not see a checkmark on the profile icon in the upper right corner of the window (like in the window below), then you   need to login. Click that icon and sign in the same way we did before. Remember, our ArcGIS Online Organization is named connecticut.maps.arcgis.com.

You should have also received an email from GISTraining@esri.com requesting you enroll in the   GEOG 2500 [UConn - Fall 2024] learning plan on the ESRI Training website. This is a learning plan we setup specifically for GEOG 2500.

Click on View learning plan assignment in the email. You will be redirected to the assignment acceptance page. Check the box and click to Enroll. You should see the confirmation window below.

Click on the GEOG 2500 learning plan.  If it is not on the screen, you can find it under My Academy and then My Learning Plans. 

The second half of your exercise is to complete the ArcGIS Pro Basics tutorial.

Lab Grading and Points

This exercise is worth 100 points, here is the grading breakdown for the assignment:

•   (35 points) Questions 1-5 from above.

•   (65 points) ArcGIS Pro Basics tutorial.  The web tutorial points are based on the successful completion of the entire tutorial.  To show me that you were able to complete the tutorial, we ask that you take a screenshot of the full screen showing ArcGIS Pro and the two linked (2D and 3D) displays. This should be similar to the screenshot below. Make sure your screen capture is of decent enough quality so we can see the details (so you get credit for your work). Note: We should be able to seeyour name in the screenshot

(showing that you are logged into ArcGIS Pro).

Please submit your assignment as a PDF file.  Please DO NOT send word documents.  In MS

Word, use the Save As function to save your document as a PDF file.  Proper naming of your file helps me keep track of your assignments (e.g., Lab1_Wanyama.pdf).

Submit your answers by midnight on Friday September 13th  on HuskyCT
