Use ArcGIS Story Maps to tell stories about the global impact of musical performances and related historical occurrences around the world. Images, videos, and other types of media can be tied to locations on a map to create an interactive presentation.

The ArcGIS Story Maps builder is similar to WordPress – projects look both professional and visually eye-catching.

Mapping/Geospatial

Long Term Project

}

7+ hours

Individual

This project could be adapted as a small group (2-4 members) project.

Complexity

ESRI has streamlined the Story Maps application to straight forward – the setup for content is very similar to the WordPress editor. Complexity of the project will sometimes depend on the topic being mapped and the size of the project – however, prior mapping experience is not required for a similar project to be successful.

 

Challenges

Maps can be set to private, St. Olaf only, or public. In order to share maps with individuals outside St. Olaf, the maps will require a public setting.

 

Accessibility Issues

Story Maps offers options for alternative text and additional description fields for images, videos, and other media. The program also has a preview window to see the project as a phone, tablet, or desktop in order to see how the project will look for different users.
