[R-sig-teaching] A second try...

[Robin A Donatello]

Agree with Joe - Create an educational "classroom" group in Data Camp. Once they confirm you're a valid instructor you can add students and they get all Data Camp courses for free for the duration of the course. Typically 4-6 months or so? I use it quite frequently as a primer to R before the class, as a continuing education tool, and as lesson enhancement tool throughout the semester.

DataCamp offers a free subscription to classes with appropriate academic credentials.
