Description

This modular collection of readings, videos, tutorials, and other resources about cartography was created under a Round 14 ALG Textbook Transformation Grant uses ArcGIS StoryMaps to create an open web-based interactive experience. Topics covered include an overview of cartography, map design, map types, map data, color and visual variables, geodesy and coordinate systems, typography, and ethics. Exams and a poster assignment are also available for download.

An update in 2025 focused on three key objectives: expanding quiz and self-assessment resources, improving accessibility, and implementing transparent assignment design using the Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) framework.
