See both the Canvas list of Weekly Modules and Assignments, and the Canvas Course Syllabus (in order by due date - a handy feature).  I'm vulnerable to making lots of mistakes in aligning these three documents - please let me know if something seems wrong.  Thanks in advance for being alert readers!
I requested an ArcGIS online account for all of you.  You will all get an email from VT 4-Help before Labor Day providing you with free access to ArcGIS Online.  You are not obliged to use it if other tools meet your needs, but you'll be glad to have tried it.
Email or call if you have questions.
