We review the possibilities offered by the base maps and how to use them to our advantage within ArcGIS Online.
In this lesson, we continue to familiarize ourselves with ArcGIS Online, this time we will review more available options, and we will learn how to upload shapes through Map Viewer Classic. Remember to download the material to follow the steps taken in class.
Once we have learned how to import Shapefiles, we will review another file format that can contain geographic data, and how it can be imported into the platform.
Continuing with our learning, we will see how to import text and GPS files into ArcGIS Online.
We will see how to import KML files, and the ways in which they can be added once inside the platform.
We review how to work with WMS and Living Atlas layers on the platform.
We conclude the layer import module, learning how to load maps from Google and Mapbox onto the platform.
We will learn about the symbology options that ArcGIS Online has for us, and we will introduce ourselves to the configuration of unique symbols in polygons.
We will learn how to configure symbology by categories or unique elements, reviewing some examples to delve into all the options that we can modify.
We delve into the available options for performing symbology by quantities, according to sizes.
We analyze the symbology options by quantity count in the color of polygons. We study the types of themes available when dividing a field by its surface.
The polygon symbology module ends by explaining what labels are, what their function is, and how we can edit them in ArcGIS Online.
We begin by analyzing the options we have for drawing lines within ArcGIS Online, reviewing symbols by location and by category.
We analyze symbols options we have when selecting, as a field, the length of linear entities. We also study the types of data classification in ArcGIS Online.
We learn a last way of symbolizing lines in ArcGIS Online.
We conclude the analysis of linear symbols, reviewing the labeling of these elements on the platform.
This time we explore symbology options for points, learning about location-based and categorized styles.
We explore the option of custom icons and apply it to cluster symbology in ArcGIS Online.
We learn how to develop heat maps using the data we have on the platform.
We analyze symbology options for date fields in point features.
We take a quick look at symbology options by size.
We learn how to generate labels in point features and also create a small expression in ArcGIS Arcade.
We delve into the topic of editing entities within ArcGIS Online, and in connection to this, we review the main aspects of map notes.
We are looking for a way to efficiently edit the edges of an entity in ArcGIS Online.
We study the main characteristics of map notes.

This course offers a thorough path for those who want a practical, hands-on understanding of ArcGIS Online. It covers everything from the basic account setup to the more advanced ways of creating interactive experiences. The aim is to guide participants step by step, so they feel comfortable with each feature before moving to the next.
It begins with a clear explanation of how ArcGIS Online compares with ArcGIS Server. That comparison helps highlight each platform’s role and sets the stage for what learners can accomplish. The program then looks at account options: public, organizational, developer, and Enterprise. After going through how to create a public account, learners explore the main interface and discover the core tools that are used in day-to-day work. This early focus on navigation helps build confidence when moving through the rest of the material.
The next area covers the Map Viewer Classic. Participants practice measuring distances, placing markers, and switching between base maps. They also pick up tips for viewing and handling different layers, which makes it simpler to find what they need. By the end of this part, most feel at ease moving around the platform, which is the foundation for more advanced tasks later on.
Data management follows. This section dives into importing various file formats (Shapefile, CSV, TXT, GPS/GPX, and KMZ) and connecting with external services such as WMS and Living Atlas. There’s also guidance on adding tile layers from providers like Google Maps or Mapbox. The overall goal is to make sure learners know how to bring multiple data sources together in one place, which is key for projects of all sizes.
After that, attention shifts to symbolization and labeling. Participants learn how to display polygons, lines, and points in ways that make sense for different audiences. Unique markers, color gradients, categorized displays, and clusters are all explored. There is a section on heat maps, which can be very helpful for revealing patterns or trends in large datasets. Labeling is a crucial part of that discussion, since the right text at the right spot can make a big difference in how the data is understood.
The program then shifts to editing and data creation. Learners discover methods for drawing new vector features, reshaping boundaries, and adding notes right on the map. This includes working with attribute tables to keep information accurate and well-organized. By practicing these skills, participants gain the ability to maintain up-to-date datasets that fit a wide range of project needs.
A deeper look at configuration follows, introducing ArcGIS Arcade. That scripting tool unlocks custom expressions that can be used for labels, pop-ups, or advanced calculations. There’s also a focus on creating dynamic pop-ups, which can include rotating images, charts, and clickable links. By learning to shape these details, participants gain more control over how viewers interact with the data.
The web applications segment explains how to craft Instant Apps and Configurable Apps without needing heavy coding knowledge. This means it’s easier to share maps and data with others, whether they are team members, clients, or the public. Designing these apps involves choosing layouts and color schemes that match a project’s goals. The step-by-step process makes it possible to present geographic information in a clean, interactive format.
There is also a unit on running an organizational account. That portion covers how to manage group memberships, assign different user roles, and maintain a shared space where teams can collaborate. Adjusting license assignments and customizing the main page come into play as well, which helps keep the platform looking unified and professional.
Finally, the course ends with Story Maps. This tool helps weave text, images, and interactive elements into a flowing presentation. Learners try out themes and templates, such as the builder approach that leads them from one section to another, and Sidecars that highlight visuals with added commentary. It’s a practical way to turn maps into compelling narratives, making the data more relatable to a general audience.
Throughout the entire course, participants work through real-world examples and scenarios that help them practice each concept. By the end, they should be ready to plan and execute geospatial projects, from basic map creation to advanced storytelling. The overall goal is to build a skill set that supports a wide range of professional and personal mapping endeavors, opening the door to unique ways of sharing geographic information.
