This webinar showcases a range of powerful desktop and online mapping and spatial analysis tools, data, and other resources designed to enhance higher education teaching, service, and research activities. These resources are versatile and applicable across numerous disciplines, including health, public safety, public policy, economics, history, archaeology, geography, planning, informatics, and more. A key feature of the webinar is SAVI, an online platform offering free interactive mapping and analysis tools, downloadable databases, reports, and data literacy workshops. SAVI provides access to thousands of data variables detailing the socio-economic characteristics of Indiana communities over multiple decades. Data themes include demographic trends, social determinants of health, social services, crime, education, and more. The webinar will also present examples of how SAVI resources have been utilized to support university research and teaching. Additionally, the webinar introduces ArcGIS Online, a tool for creating customized, interactive maps and dashboards that can enrich course content and support research. Participants will also learn about the extensive array of Indiana demographic and environmental geospatial data resources and training available to faculty and students.
This session will explore how GIS technology can help you bring data to life. Learn how to integrate data from multiple sources—including SAVI—create interactive maps and multimedia stories and uncover patterns and relationships through spatial analysis. If you’re curious about how tools like ArcGIS Online can support your organization’s storytelling and data-driven decision making, this workshop is for you. Live demonstrations of ArcGIS Online’s capabilities will be included.
