The goal of this lab is to teach the new ArcGIS interface to people who took GIS I using ArcView 3.X. Our labs have the newest ArcGIS 9.2. ArcGIS is very different from ArcView 3.X and if you do not have some familiarity with the new software then you will not be able to do the analytical exercises.
Log onto the ESRI Virtual Campus at http://campus.esri.com/. If you don’t have an ESRI Global Account, please click on “create new account” during login to set up a new account. After you have set up a new account log onto it and click the "Course Catalog" tab. Then click "Free Training." Find and click the "Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcGIS Desktop" course and click "Try It Now." Then click on "My Courses" and you will see that the new course has been added. Click on the course title to start the course.
Courses on the Virtual Campus are divided into learning modules, which include written material and exercises. The entire module for this exercise takes one or two hours to complete. Make sure that you know how to display data, manipulate spatial and attribute databases, query databases, and make maps in ArcGIS after the exercise.
