Description:
This course will introduce spatial data and show you how to import and display spatial data within the open source GIS program QGIS. We will also cover creating choropleth maps, some basic spatial data analysis (e.g. calculating rates) and appropriate methods of visualising spatial data. By the end of the course you will be able to load data into QGIS, symbolise it effectively and be able to prepare a publication quality map.
This course is for you if you have no previous experience of using spatial data and want to learn what spatial data is and how to use it to create maps ready for your articles or reports using QGIS.
