We developed a free 12-week ArcMAP GIS course in 2013 and have continued to offer it and update the materials steadily. QGIS was added to the mix in 2020 and ArcGIS Pro was added in 2021, offering students the opportunity to learn how to create the same map or analysis three different ways. During these nine years, the hosting service changed three times. Our institution went from ignoring the course to now awarding electronic badges for completers.
