Resources and best practices for learning
GIS technology is key to developing prosperous communities and solving the world's most pressing environmental and social problems. Using ArcGIS, students and scholars collect spatial data, understand trends, predict change, compare scenarios, and propose solutions. Leading colleges and universities prepare students for meaningful careers and advance understanding of people, places, and processes ranging from local to global scales.
ArcGIS provides modern, industry-standard GIS tools and methods for your classroom exercises and projects. Students use the same industrial-strength GIS software used by the institutions looking to hire them after graduation. Whether you're teaching GIS fundamentals or advanced concepts, from map design and spatial analysis to machine learning and data collection using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Esri has you covered. Esri provides a wide array of resources and GIS tutorials to help you succeed as an educator.
Maps and location analytics enhance scholarship in dozens of fields by revealing patterns and relationships. These insights improve understanding and decision-making in both natural and human systems.
