Maps are great tools for enhancing how you communicate your research to diverse audiences, and when combined with compelling storytelling empowered by web technology, the communication will be even more impactful! ArcGIS StoryMaps is an online storytelling tool that enables you to integrate interactive maps from ArcGIS Online with multimedia content (audio, video, graphs, charts, apps, and more) to create an immersive storytelling experience.
Looking for inspiration? Check out the story maps gallery to see the ways that story maps have been used across disciplines, or these two story maps created by SFU researchers, both of which serve as a compelling, public-facing communication venue for the research projects:
- Covid-19 Risks in British Columbia’s Neighbourhoods: Mapping Risks & Vulnerability Across the Province and
- Room to Move: Approaches to Covid-19 street reallocations in four Canadian cities
This workshop will cover:
- Create a story on ArcGIS StoryMaps: add texts and multimedia content
- Create a web map on ArcGIS online and embed it in StoryMaps.
