--- title: "OER Short Course: Introduction to Geospatial Visualisation" author: Jeremy Kidwell status: Forthcoming type: unpublished citation: "“"OER Short Course: Introduction to Geospatial Visualisation".” in preparation" comments: no date: 2019-01-24 publishdate: 2019-01-24 --- This is a working draft of a short open course (OER) designed to provide a hands-on introduction to visualising geospatial data using the Carto platform. This should be useful for a wide audience, but was originally designed for Undergraduate students with a humanities background. As you will see below, the course is designed around "challenges" which build on one another. Technical note: the course has been built to compile using [bookdown](https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown), and so the live instance of the course is compiled from openly accessible resources located in [a github repository](https://github.com/kidwellj/intro_to_geospatial_carto). Instructions are in the [README](https://github.com/kidwellj/intro_to_geospatial_carto/blob/master/README.md).
