GIS Videos from Fort Kent

Posted on by

For the past year, I have been recording walkthroughs of various GIS operations used in our classes and labs. These are available on our YouTube page, which is not monetized and available for use in any of your courses if you find them useful. Students in my GIS class are required to watch and take notes on a series of videos before each lab, and students in my Map & LiDAR interpretation course use videos as a reference during labs. I have been finding this far more effective and engaging than purely written instructions.

If there’s something you’d like demonstrated that you don’t see here, let me know and I’ll do it if it’s a straightforward operation —
