This guide helps you to get access to ESRI training resources available to you as an employee or student at SLU. SLU has an enterprise account at ESRI with access to resources such as online training and licensing. The
ESRI web-courses found in the ESRI Training section is one of the more popular resources. A large number of web-courses, otherwise requiring a maintenance plan (costs money), are free to take for all with an SLU user. However, an initial procedure is necessary
in order to activate your user and to get proper access and permissions.
1. Activate your user at SLU's account at ArcGIS Online
ArcGIS Online (http://www.arcgis.com) is ESRIs online resource primarily for sharing maps and geodata. All employee and students can have access to SLUs
account at ArcGIS Online.
The name of SLUs account is "gis-slu".
The direct link to SLUs enterprise account at ArcGIS Online is: http://gis-slu.maps.arcgis.com/
You need to “activate” (or add/create) your SLU user at SLUs enterprise account at ArcGIS Online.
You do that by simply making a first time login.
Go to:
http://gis-slu.maps.arcgis.com/ and login using following this procedure:
If you managed to login, you are done! You do not need to do anything else for now.
Just a note:
http://gis-slu.maps.arcgis.com is the direct link to SLU's account at "ArcGIS Online". There have been problems logging in using
the general link: "arcgis.com", especially in SLUs computer rooms.
In some of the ESRI Web courses you are instructed to login to ArcGIS Online using "arcgis.com". To avoid problems use the direct link instead!
2. Get access to ESRI training resources
To get access to ESRI's E-learning resources (web courses) you need the GIS-support or Teacher to set up permission and access.
1: If you are a student in a course teaching GIS, contact your teacher
2: Otherwise, send an email to the GIS Support (GIS-support@slu.se) and ask for "ESRI access". Be sure to use (or include) your SLU email (no other information required)
3. Wait for an email from ESRI
You will get an email from ESRI. This email token you need in the next step.
4. Login using your SLU-user
Login to my.esri.com using your SLU user.
It is still important to login correctly! Se Step 1.
Note! The information in the e-mail from ESRS can be misleading.
You do NOT need to create a "public user"!
5. Connect to organisation
Do a "Connect to organization" with the "token" (code) in the email from ESRI.
6. Start your training activity!
You can now search and execute a large number of web-courses available at ESRI Training (http://www.esri.com/training)
under SLU's enterprise account.
