Topics include the theory, acquisition, and use of locational data using both continuous and discrete georeferencing methods. Upon completion, students should be able to identify appropriate coordinate systems for a situation and translate data into correct map form.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger60125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956762132784599519.post-71241144190440030072011-04-28T07:24:00.000-04:002011-04-28T11:03:47.822-04:00Module 10 - Chapter 7 - Beyond Default Marginal Elements<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/EmbedSlideshow?docid=ddh8bbwd_650dr4c9tcm" frameborder="0" width="410" height="342"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956762132784599519.post-64871037593735024762011-04-19T05:39:00.000-04:002011-04-19T09:50:35.057-04:00Module 9 - Chapter 6 - Customizing Symbols<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/EmbedSlideshow?docid=ddh8bbwd_648dxff3cgj" frameborder="0" width="410" height="342"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /><iframe src="https://docs.google.com/present/embed?id=ddh8bbwd_1483gtwm2jfv" frameborder="0" width="410" height="342"></iframe><br /><br />From ESRI<a href="http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddh8bbwd_606hszj5rmc"></a></div><div><a href="http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddh8bbwd_606hszj5rmc">Working with Layer Symbology</a><a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AbMjMNDO0IkQZGRoOGJid2RfNjA2aHN6ajVybWM&hl=en"></a></div><div><br /></div><div>ASSIGNMENT: </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddh8bbwd_630c7gf8qdh">Working with Styles in ArcGIS</a></div><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956762132784599519.post-23172029416300202892011-03-29T05:58:00.000-04:002011-03-29T10:53:05.006-04:00Final ProjectDetails on the final project can be found here:<br /><br /><a class="tabcontent" id="publishedDocumentUrl" href="http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddh8bbwd_1267hp2s3ncz" target="_blank">http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddh8bbwd_1267hp2s3ncz</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956762132784599519.post-66665290423452811952011-03-24T08:25:00.000-04:002011-03-24T09:17:34.759-04:00Module 8 - Chapter 5 - Color Decision for Mapping<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/EmbedSlideshow?docid=ddh8bbwd_634dt5rk3g9" width="410" frameborder="0" height="342"></iframe><br /><br /><strong>Active Learning Exercise </strong><br /><ul><li>Virtual Campus - Cartographic Design Using ArcGIS - Module 5</li></ul><ul><li>Explore colors using he Color Brewer - <a href="http://www.colorbrewer.org/">http://www.colorbrewer.org</a></li></ul><p><br /><strong>Final Project</strong></p><p>What would you like to do for the final project?

I don't know whether ya'll had the intention of working with this data or not (?)...But, I included it nevertheless (its public info). I need to point out that the Comp Bike Plan GIS files (from a consultant) had some issues that were communicated to our planners which, though minor, we had hoped would be addressed.....As time went on....a final deliverable appeared in generally the same condition........So,...We started the corrections process ourselves (though unfinished) and have revised some of the centerline references in the .mdb with "Revised" in the title (there were (and are) some missing segments and topology issues, also the original "RECOMMENDA" field was truncated by the consultants at some point, ETC....). Anyway, if in working with Claudia...you end up building some really useful information for the community - My one-kneed-plea would be to keep all of your information associated with segment-specific Buncombe County Street Centerline Id's (whether through a related table, linear referencing, etc).......This would allow the information to be passed back up through CoA, Buncombe County, even NCDOT eventually (ISRN) if needed.
