[mitgis] GIS courses available online

[Lisa Sweeney]

Want to learn about GIS online, on your own time? The MIT community has access to many virtual campus courses from ESRI. Courses can help students learn many skills including: using ArcGIS, working in 3D, raster analysis, programming with Python, and creating mobile GIS applications. The virtual campus addresses a variety of topics including getting started with the basics of GIS and working with HAZUS - using GIS technology to estimate physical, economic, and social impacts of disasters.

The MIT community can sign up for ESRI virtual campus courses for free by emailing gishelp at mit.edu. For a listing of available courses visit the MIT GIS Services website: http://libraries.mit.edu/gis/teach/esrivc.html

Also, all GIS workshops offered by MIT GIS Services are available online at: http://libraries.mit.edu/gis/teach/previous-workshops.html Topics include: Introduction to GIS, Spatial Statistics, Visualizing Data with Fusion Tables and Google Maps API, What's New in ArcGIS 10 and much more!
