Please, check out other Fun Data Friday events.

What: In this workshop we will discuss what aspects of a map make it interpretable. You will learn how to map geospatial data, map layers, and how to apply map layers in ArcGIS Online and analyze that data.
Why: Maps are interpretations of the world we live in all around us. They play a pivotal role in all industries to protect people and the planet, maintain critical systems, and improve business outcomes every day. Applying data analysis methods to maps can assist all users in better interpreting statistical information.
Software: ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based mapping platform that allows users to collect, manage, and analyze data, share maps and apps, and collaborate effectively within a connected and collaborative web geographic information system (GIS). Students at the University of Toronto have access to ArcGIS Online using their UTORid.
Who:This workshop is designed for those new to working with mapping. Participants from any discipline: Humanities, Social Sciences, or Sciences are encouraged to participate. There are no prerequisites or assumptions of knowledge.
How: This is a 2 hour in-person workshop, consisting of a short lecture and then a series of demonstrations, which you can follow along with or just watch, interspersed with activities we will complete together and discuss. There are no breaks.
Where: This workshop will be held in The BRIDGE Data Lab (IC 108)
When: Friday, November 21, 4-6:00pm.
