Lesson Overview
In this module, you will begin considering the term project topic you will pursue throughout the semester, which can include any project based on a work project, a hobby, interest, and/or anything else you want to explore – the options are endless and should be interesting and valuable to you.
In this module, you will exploring several different themes to introduce you to basic geospatial design including different geospatial design methodologies, User Experience and Interface (UX/UI) design; Agile, Lean, and Waterfall Design methodologies, and Web GIS applications. Additionally, the technology you will be exploring this module is the ESRI Survey123, which is a frequently implemented software for mobile and webGIS due to its flexibility and interoperability. You will complete the ESRI Survey123 training course, which will culminate in an ESRI certificate, therefore advancing your professional development and/or GISP (if applicable).
The assignment will require you to discuss your term project topic idea in 1 paragraph, conduct a short literature search and bibliography, and justify the use of one or more geospatial design methodologies.
