What Is A StoryMap?<\/h2>\n

ArcGIS StoryMaps<\/span><\/span> allows users to bring together maps, narrative, and multimedia into a cohesive digital experience. Designed for beginners as well as experienced users, StoryMaps allows you to combine interactive maps with images, video, text, and other media to communicate research in a clear, compelling format. Whether you are tracing migration patterns in history, illustrating environmental change, examining public health data, exploring community demographics in sociology, or crafting a data-driven story for a capstone project, StoryMaps helps transform spatial analysis into meaningful storytelling. Because it is web-based and intuitive, it works well for both classroom assignments and public-facing scholarship. The library provides access through ArcGIS Online<\/span><\/span> and a consultation with an instructional technologist can help you think through project design, structure, and presentation as well as acquaint you with the software’s many features.<\/p>\n

Rather than describe what StoryMaps are further, we encourage you to check out some of these examples and set up a meeting with an instructional technologist to see how easy it can be to make a polished StoryMap.<\/p>\n

Trinity College examples can be found on the homepage when you log into your ArcGIS account. For information on how to get an account, visit this page.<\/a><\/p>\n
