IS&T RCS Tutorial - Introduction to ArcGIS Online Portal (Hands-on)

The ArcGIS Online Web Portal is the starting point for any ArcGIS Online projects. It is a cloud based web application that allows you to upload and store your own GIS data, save web maps, StoryMaps, and other ArcGIS Online applications in a centralized location. You can control access permissions for your content and share completed work with the world, or restrict access to only your working group. It also provides tools to search GIS data that was published on the ArcGIS Online platform and makes it easy to import that data into your applications. In this tutorial, I will give a brief introduction on what is ArcGIS Online. Then we will log onto the web portal and I will explain the structure of the user interface and how to use the basic tools to manage your content, manage permissions, and search for data. In this tutorial we will not cover how to use specific applications (such as Web Viewer, StoryMaps, Dashboards, etc). No software installation is required; just an internet connection and an internet browser. You will need an ArcGIS Online account.
