How do you transform geospatial data into interactive maps that really make an impression? In this one-on-one course, you’ll discover the power of Shiny and Leaflet and learn how to build dynamic web applications that bring your data to life. Through personalized guidance and hands-on assignments, you’ll gain the tools and knowledge to create advanced geospatial visualizations that will captivate your audience.
Shiny and Leaflet are powerful tools that are used together for interactive maps and geospatial web applications. Leaflet is a popular JavaScript library that makes maps visually appealing and user-friendly. Shiny is an R framework for developing dynamic, interactive web applications.
With Leaflet, you can easily create maps that you can integrate into websites or applications. The tool offers many options for styling maps, displaying data, and adding interactive elements, such as markers and layers. This makes Leaflet ideal for visually presenting geospatial data.
Shiny enables you to build interactive web applications that combine maps with geospatial analyses and visualizations. This is particularly useful for Geo-ICT professionals who want to present and analyze geospatial data without in-depth programming knowledge. Shiny also makes it easy to process and visually display real-time data.
These tools are indispensable in the Geo-ICT domain. They simplify access to geospatial information and enable users to present complex data visually and interactively. Whether you want to analyze geographic trends or develop custom applications, Shiny and Leaflet offer the perfect solution.
In the Maps in Shiny and Leaflet course, you’ll learn how to effectively visualize geospatial data and create interactive maps using Shiny and Leaflet. These tools enable you to present geodata dynamically and accessibly in both web applications and maps.
You’ll start by installing and using R Studio, the ideal environment for working with R. Next, you’ll learn how to use the Leaflet web mapping library to create interactive maps. You’ll discover how to create different maps, style them, and integrate them into a single application—for example, by creating map legends and color palettes to enhance your maps visually.
In addition, you’ll learn how to use Shiny to build a dashboard where you can combine maps with other geospatial analyses and data. You’ll learn to work with data frames in R and how to effectively apply R terminal operations to prepare and manipulate the data for your maps.
This course offers hands-on experience in building geospatial web applications and working with maps in Leaflet and Shiny. You will develop not only the technical skills to visualize maps but also to create interactive applications that process and present real-time data. This is of great value to Geo-ICT professionals who want to present and analyze geospatial data.
Blended learning combines independent online study with interactive sessions, allowing you to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience with Shiny and Leaflet. The online modules allow you to study at your own pace and cover topics such as geospatial data visualization, map development, and web applications. You’ll learn how to use Leaflet for interactive maps and Shiny for dynamic web applications that integrate real-time data analysis.
During the hands-on sessions, you’ll apply your knowledge immediately. You’ll work with real geospatial data and receive personalized guidance from Geo-ICT experts. You’ll learn to design maps, add interactive elements, and integrate geospatial analyses into Shiny. By working with realistic scenarios, you’ll develop skills essential for presenting geodata in interactive web applications.
The combination of flexible online learning and hands-on training ensures that you not only learn how to work with Shiny and Leaflet, but also how to effectively apply them in Geo-ICT projects. After the course, you will be able to independently create interactive maps, visualize geospatial data, and perform real-time analyses to deliver valuable insights in your field.
You’ll receive 1-on-1 guidance. After signing up, our course coordinator will contact you to schedule your first session.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
Do you have questions about the course content? Or are you unsure whether the course aligns with your learning goals or preferences? Would you prefer an in-house or private course? We’d be happy to help.
After the course, you’ll have another two weeks to ask the instructor questions. Since the instructor is already teaching other courses, it’s best to email your questions to info@geo-ict.nl. Your question will be forwarded to the instructor, and you’ll receive a response within 24 hours.
If you’re a bit further along and encounter practical problems you can’t solve on your own, it’s best to use Online Support. You’ll spend one day online with the instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.
If you run into problems in practice that you can’t solve on your own, you have two options: you can sign up for a beginner or advanced course, or you can sign up for Online Support.
You’ll spend a day online with an instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.
