ArcGIS can be (but does not need to be) installed on faculty, staff, and student Windows computers, or on Macs running Windows under Parallels (note link to the Student Edition) or a similar virtual machine (16 GB of total RAM is highly recommended!). Download ArcGIS 10.7.1 from the Amherst Software Collection. Other arrangements will be made for participants who do not have a capable computer.
This workshop will begin on Friday, January 29, 1 PM – 3 PM, and will run asynchronously thereafter, with a couple of check-ins per week, ending around February 11.
