After couple of courses about advanced search features Google announced a self-paced, online course developed to help you better navigate the world around you by improving your use of the new Google Maps, Maps Engine Lite, and Google Earth. The project is called Mapping with Google amd will be offered from June 10 – June 24. You will be able to choose whether to explore the features of Google Maps, Google Earth, or both. In addition, you’ll have the option to complete a project, applying the skills you’ve learned to earn a certificate. You can register here: g.co/mappingcourse.

Following previous Google online courses it will be based on posted video lectures after which you will get questions to answer. There will be Google Hangouts with experts, and at the end test for users who want to receive the certificate. But don’t expect much… these are just images with our name with no signatures, stamps etc… Learn more here:
