Esri Hands-On Learning Lab Fact SheetWhat is the Hands-On Learning Lab? The HOLL (Hands-On Learning Lab) is a training resource provided and developed by Esri Training Services. The lab is an excellent way to introduce ArcGIS® software users to a variety of Esri® solutions and training opportunities while learning to use Esri software.

How does the HOLL work?The HOLL consists of a group of laptops with headphones where students can work through lessons at their own pace. A lesson consists of a recorded presentation followed by a hands-on exercise. Each lesson typically takes from about 45 minutes to one hour to complete, and students can generally come and go as they please. Training Services instructors are on hand to answer questions and discuss Esri products, other training opportunities, and Esri Technical Certification.

How often is the HOLL updated?The lesson topic choices are updated on a schedule matching the Esri software release schedule in order to provide new and up-to-date content when it becomes available.

Getting started with GIS 1: Understanding the ArcGIS Platform

In this exercise you will concentrate on mastering GIS portal basics by working in ArcGIS Online and will learn how to access and use public GIS content, log into an ArcGIS Online Organization as a named user, use self-service mapping tools to create and manage an online map and work with online

analysis tools.

Getting started with GIS 2: Using ArcMAP to Explore GIS DataDesigned for the new ArcGIS user, this lesson will introduce you to the basic principles of GIS using ArcGIS for Desktop. You will explore both GIS features and the associated data. You will explore spatial relationships between geographic features and

you will learn the tools for displaying and querying GIS data.

Getting to Know ArcGIS ProThis lesson introduces you to the fundamental work� ows necessary for becoming productive using ArcGIS Pro including mapping and visualization, GIS data editing, and geoprocessing. You will learn to manage and display content in simultaneous

2D and 3D layouts.

Advantages to Storing Your GIS Data in the GeodatabaseThis lesson will cover the key elements of the geodatabase model, including the geodatabase structure, feature classes, subtypes,

relationship classes, topologies, and geometric networks.

Creating Presentation Quality Maps in ArcMap In this lesson, you will use ArcGIS for Desktop to create a display-quality map in ArcMap using layout view. You will � rst learn how to symbolize map layers, prepare a map layout, and add map elements including a map title, north arrow, legends and more.

Editing GIS Data in ArcMapIn this lesson, you will use the Editor Toolbar commands in ArcMap to create and modify features stored in a geodatabase. You will explore the snapping environment, feature templates, and construction methods.

Multi-User Editing Using VersioningVersioning allows multiple users to edit the same data without applying locks or duplicating data. In this lesson, you will learn to register data as versioned, create a new version, switch between versions, edit the versioned data, merge versions, and manage versioned data.

Editing and Maintaining Parcel Data in a Parcel fabricParcel data is the foundation of a local government’s land records database. In this lesson, you will learn about the parcel fabric data model, explore the parcel fabric editing environment and learn to add a new parcel to a fabric.

Geocoding Street Addresses to Create Map PointsIn this lesson, you will learn to create a point feature class from a

list of street addresses.

Importing and Preparing CAD Data for Use in ArcGISGIS work� ows often rely on CAD datasets generated by outside survey, engineering, and architectural sources. In this lesson, you will learn to convert an existing CAD data into features stored in the Esri geodatabase model.

The Importance of Spatial Reference in Tactical ApplicationsUsing an incorrect coordinate system when mapping military strategies can lead to disastrous results. In this lesson, you will learn to de� ne a data frame’s spatial reference, assign a spatial reference to a dataset, and explore the relevance and importance of spatial reference information.

Lesson Summaries

Esri® Hands-on Learning Lab for ArcGIS® 10.3

Exploring Health and Epidemic Patterns Using Spatial Statistics ToolsThe spatial statistics tools are exploratory tools that allow you to determine the distribution and patterns of various geographic phenomena and events. In this lesson, you will use several tools located in the Spatial Statistics Tools toolbox to examine the spatial pattern and distribution of a dengue fever outbreak.

Optimizing Transportation Routing Using ArcGIS Network AnalystArcGIS Network Analyst helps you dynamically model network conditions and solve vehicle routing problems. In this lesson, you will explore a network dataset, and then run a variety of route solver tools to address various scenarios.

Modeling Time and Distance along Networks Using Linear ReferencingGIS professionals, in a variety of industries, use the linear referencing functionality embedded in ArcGIS to maintain, analyze, and plan incidents, assets, and activities that occur along linear networks. In this lesson, you will use ArcMap to create, display, and modify routes and events.

Working with Geometric Networks to ManageUtilities and Water RunoffWater distribution, electrical lines, gas pipelines, telephone services, and water � ow in a stream are all examples of resource � ows that can be modeled and analyzed using a geometric network. In this lesson, you will explore a geometric network, edit network features, use connectivity rules, and explore network trace operations.

Interpolating Sample Points to Create Rasters Using Spatial Analyst ToolsThe ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension provides a broad range of powerful spatial modeling and analysis capabilities. In this lesson, you will explore symbolizing points as vectors, and then you will create rasters using two interpolators found in the Spatial Analyst toolbox: the Spline tool and the IDW tool.

Geoprocessing GIS Data Using PythonThis lesson is an introduction to the Python scripting language and its usefulness for accessing the power of GIS.

Sharing Maps and GIS Content using ArcGIS OnlineArcGIS Online is a place to web-enable your maps and related geographic information and then share them with your users. In this lesson, you will learn to publish a feature service from a zipped shape� le, publish a map service from a tile package, and publish a feature service from a layer in ArcGIS Desktop.

Understanding Web Services UsingArcGIS for ServerArcGIS for Server is software that makes your geographic information available to others in your organization, or optionally, anyone with an Internet connection. In this lesson, you will author, publish, and share GIS resources using ArcGIS Server.

Generating Web Applications for the GIS NoviceThe ArcGIS Platform provides a rich set of ready to use and con� gurable applications that are used to help quickly share maps and generate highly focused solutions that meet various application requirements. In this exercise, you will learn to generate, con� gure, and share both web applications using a template and web applications using WebAppBuilder for ArcGIS.

Getting Started with the Community Maps Data Preparation ToolsThrough Esri Community Maps your organization can contribute geographic data to help build an authoritative Living Atlas of the World. In this lesson, you will use the free Community Maps Data Preparation Tools to migrate basemap data into a geodatabase that can be easily contributed to the Community Maps program.

Mapping Excel Data using Esri Maps for Of� ceEsri Maps for Of� ce is an add-in for Microsoft Of� ce that brings mapping capabilities into Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. In this exercise, you will learn to map features using coordinates and addresses in Microsoft Excel, select features based on their location and the drive time from one another, add your map as a dynamic map to a MS PowerPoint slide, and map aggregate data.
