Data themes include demographic trends, social determinants of health, social services, crime, education, and more. Examples of how SAVI resources have already been applied to support IU research and teaching will be shared.
The webinar also introduces ArcGIS Online, a tool that can be used to create customized, interactive maps and dashboards that can enhance course content and support research.
