Finally I have access to the course software, and am able to start using ArcMap! I have quite some catching up to do.
Module 1: Exploring a GIS Map
Excercise: Planning a trip to San Diego
I found the ESRI Virtual Campus course instructions simple and easy to follow and had no problems with this first assignment. It is good to start getting a feel for how GIS works.
Module 1: Using GIS to Solve Problems
Excercise: Find potential sites for a Youth Center
I had a few more problems here, but that was only because I lost the remote desktop connection half way through the excercise. Luckily I had saved the file and only had to repeat a few steps. Lesson learned! Don't forget to SAVE!
I played around a bit with the map layout. I change the text size of the labels and legends, but I did not find this very intuitive. I had to ask for help.
Looking forward to finding out more about what ArcMap can do!
