Overview

APL staff offer invited presentations to audiences of all sizes including community groups, campus and state agency groups, statewide professional or governmental associations, and UW Extension educators. The APL can also design and teach classes and workshops on a wide range of topics (for instance, how to access and use demographic data or how to use data from the American Community Survey) to suit the educational needs and goals of any audience. In addition, APL staff regularly provide instruction through the University of Wisconsin’s Social Science Computing Cooperative (SSCC). These trainings generally focus on using ArcGIS with demographic data or on spatial data analysis and spatial regression modeling using spatial statistical software.

Costs and Timeline

We generally charge a small speaker’s fee and ask for reimbursement of travel and other incidental costs. Generally, we like to schedule our participation in presentations and workshops several months in advance.
