01.
Seven Tips for Strategic Learning.
In this tutorial we're going to look at methods for keeping
track of what you learn and capture learning strategies.
(6:48 minutes)
02.
What is ArcGIS ®
and Intro. to ArcCatalog. In this tutorial we're going to explore ArcGIS ® Desktop,
its components and then dive into an introduction to ArcCatalog and see
how Catalog fits into ArcGIS ® Desktop. We'll compare Catalog with
Microsoft Windows
Explorer. (11:33 minutes)
03.
ArcCatalog Interface.
This in-depth tutorial
takes a detailed view of ArcCatalog and its interface
components. This tutorial should spark new ideas as well.
You will learn to use the core interface elements including view options, tool
bars, custom controls and how to view file types.
(43:28 minutes)
04.
Working with ArcCatalog in a Project.
In this tutorial we'll focus on ArcCatalog.
We'll create folder connections, create thumbnails
and
preview geographic information assets. We'll work with tables,
add new fields to tables, export tables customize the interface, review coordinate systems, map
projections and make ESRI shapefiles.
(1 Hour - 2 minutes)
05. Introduction to ArcMap and the Interface. We're going to gaze deep into ArcMap and its interface components exploring toolbars, table of contents, drawing order and adding data. We'll customize the interface, work with active data frames, search for data, review hyperlinks, short cuts, label features and attributes. (1 hour - 3 minutes)
06. ArcToolBox, Command Line and Model Builder. In this tutorial we're going to use these tools to facilitate geoprocessing tasks. You will learn how to use the Clip tool and Buffer tool and learn how to execute a tool from each of these components. We'll discuss saving scripts and components and learn how to automate geoprocessing tasks. (49:37 minutes)
07. Editing Data and Creating New Data. We're going to create new data for use in ArcGIS! We'll explore edit sketches, line segments & the sketch tool. Focusing on editing operations, we'll learn how to use the snapping environment and create new shapefiles and a personal geodatabase. Before digitizing, we'll set snap tolerances. (1 hour - 23 minutes)
08. Working with Tables, Graphs and Reports. We'll look at attribute tables, spatial geometry & table operations in this lesson. We'll append fields for labeling, perform table association and review joining tables and cardinality. We'll work with Microsoft Excel data and add worksheets from Workbooks, create reports and export graphs and reports! (1 hour - 20 minutes)
09. Making Maps with ArcMap. In this tutorial we'll explore cartography & map making. We'll begin by reviewing the basic aspects of map design including map scale, use of color on maps, fonts, visual contrast, figure-ground relationships and unity. We will create a maps with ArcMap and focus on adding thematic layers, raster data, multiple data frames & graticules. (1 hour - 15 minutes)
10. Image Registration. In this tutorial we'll look at image registration methods. We'll register images to vector maps and use a first order polynomial transformation to model rotation, scale and a translation. - an essential GIS skill. We'll create a registration file for images by rubber sheeting the image by choosing ground control points using tools within ArcMap. (23 minutes)
11. Key Terms and Definitions. In this tutorial session we'll review some of the key terms, vocabulary and definitions as related to geographic information systems (GIS) and ArcGIS ®Desktop. (17:53 minutes)

I have purchased the training DVD (KnowGIS) and it was really amazing and informative stuff. I must say that it was the most helpful training video that I've ever used. Thank you for your excellent service. I wonder if you have other more stuff, I am really curious to purchase it too. Please, if that is the case let me know.

This video training is an excellent resource for someone trying to learn Arc GIS because the material covers important and different topics in very detailed manner and the videos are helpful in learning the software. One can start learning at one's own pace without much help from anyone else. Its a good refresher too, as I can go back and watch the instruction on how to register an image after I forgot a few months later.

I am commenting on the KnowGIS 9 version of the video training. Quite simply, I feel it is probably the most productive and interesting introduction you can get for ArcGIS. It gives a understanding of ArcGIS and GIS concepts and reveals how to do tasks. If I did not memorise a task, I can watch the video again. It provides good ideas and step-by-step tutorials that are easy to follow and informative. The videos are fun to watch too.

If you want to learn ESRI's ArcGIS on your own, this is a really good alternative - especially if you learn by watching - not reading (e.g. Getting to Know ArcGIS book). Taking an Intro. to ArcGIS I and II from ESRI (which would be my first choice) costs a bunch of cash; certified classes is over $800. This is a lot less money and is worth the price for sure, and you can watch it over and over again for a refresher. Can't do that with the ESRI class. We use this video training as the beginning and intermediate GIS course for new employeesl. Price beets an ESRI-authorized instructor and a professor's time. The material is great.

As a college student, I am learning GIS and need to be effective with ArcGIS as a tool. The KnowGIS training video was really good; great graphics, good solid instruction and the projects (although based in the USA) were useful - and I must admit I know more than anyone in my class now - and people are coming to me for help. Thanks Jere.
