I created an ArcGIS online account, which will allow me to access and share map packages and do analysis via a web browser.
Map packages are a way to share maps with other users, by supplying all the inputs of a project in a single source - the package. Map packages contain map inputs, such as layers, data, and other documents. By 'packaging' these items, the entire project is easily distributed and shared. Similar to map packages, tile packages were discussed. Tile packages contain both vector and raster graphics. Tile packages break the map project into equal spaced tiles, the pieces of which makeup the total project. Tiles are well suited for raster inputs.
Below are two screen shots of map packages that I created.
