Abstract

Experiences Using ArcGIS Online for Research Collaboration
Track: ArcGIS for Organizations
Authors: Maribeth Price

We tested ArcGIS Online (AGO) as a collaboration platform for a university research project that collected water samples from private wells and investigated local trends connected with water quality. We used AGO to stage the field work, analyze the data, and present the results to the public. Although not all facets of the platform worked as well as expected, we found that AGO was an effective way to collaborate with colleagues with little GIS training in a secure environment.
