Introduction
Section titled “Introduction”This module introduces you to fundamental QGIS skills and knowledge that set the stage for more advanced techniques in later sessions.
What you should already know
Section titled “What you should already know”As a foundational module, no previous knowledge of GIS or QGIS is required. However, familiarity with the QGIS interface as discussed in QGIS: Essentials - Introduction to QGIS, how to load different kinds of layers as discussed in QGIS: Essentials - Introduction to layers in QGIS, and how to run processing algorithms as discussed in QGIS: Essentials - Basic geospatial processing techniques are preferred.
Essential concepts
Section titled “Essential concepts”- Review essential and fundamental GIS/QGIS concepts.
