FYS 120N: Imagining Democracies Globally

Story Map Example: Civil Society and the PFT

How do I start a project like this?

  1. What is your sustainable development goal (SDG) of focus?
  2. Select your TAP Network member
  3. What are your regions of focus? Country, region, etc.
  4. Select your V-Dem values that make sense for your SDG and TAP Network - why are these values important?

 

Tables & Spreadsheets

  • Use a spreadsheet to manage any point data (projects or any single locations that you want to display on the map)
  • Combine Country Names with columns of V-Dem Data

 

Smaller amounts of data may be more effective and be easier to process than larger amounts of data. If wanting to compare multiple years, 2 years can be just as impactful as 50 years.

Questions about mapping?

For any questions about mapping process or if you are unable to access the map, contact Sara Dale (dale1@stolaf.edu). For any evening or weekend help, also feel free to stop by the DiSCO and ask one of the interns! Check out the ArcGIS Hub for training, tutorials, reference guides, and help with troubleshooting.

Having any issues with the mapping platform?

  • Trouble logging in
  • Unable to access a project that you could access previously
  • Not seeing the St. Olaf banner when logging into ArcGIS Online

Check out the article link below to see ideas for fixing these issues! If this does not resolve the problem, feel free to reach out to Sara Dale (dale1@stolaf.edu).

  • It is recommended to use Chrome with ArcGIS Online. If seeing issues with logging in or project access, this is sometimes caused by the Safari browser.
  • While multiple people can collaborate on one project - only one person can access the project at a time! If you are locked out, it's possible that someone in the group might have a tab open with the project. Check with your group members to see if someone might be in the Story Map already!
