Course 1 - An Introduction to QGIS
An Introduction to QGIS
In this course we have six different sections of lessons, each covering a different aspect of QGIS. This will cover getting started, importing and displaying vector data, creating a map for printing and sharing, creating and modifying vector data, digitizing and advanced digitzing and putting all these skills together to make good-looking but most importantly useful maps. The entire length of the videos on this course are around 3 hours and 10 minutes and we anticipate it will take students individuals between 5 and 6 hours to complete the course.
