Web-based Storytelling: StoryMaps for Communicating Research
Description:
Story maps have taken the geospatial world by storm in recent years. Many organizations and individuals have turned to the scrollytelling format as a way to tell a longer story in a way that a single article or map cannot. This presentation will go into why story maps are a useful tool, and then how to plan and execute a complex one in a team setting. Along the way we will touch on some cartographic theory, design, and good practices for working on the web
Attendees will hear from Carl Churchill, a Woodwell Climate Research Center cartographer. The seminar will focus on StoryMaps for communicating research.
Who Should Attend:
This workshop is a continuation of ArcGIS StoryMaps workshop series, covering StoryMaps for communicating research. No GIS experience is required. Anyone who did not attend the earlier workshops is also welcome to attend.
