[R-sig-teaching] school level introduction to and use of R

[Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel]

Hello,

Yes, this is possible, and there are a few approaches you might use. Note that this is not an exhaustive list, there may be other approaches I’m unaware of / can’t think of at the moment.

• RStudio:
    • RStudio Cloud: https://rstudio.cloud/. Depending on student numbers / how you structure access, could be free or require a premium plan. https://rstudio.cloud/learn/guide has information on getting started.
    • RStudio Server Pro: See https://rstudio.com/pricing/academic-pricing/ for Academic Pricing, the software is free for teaching purposes, but needs more setup than RStudio Cloud. https://docs.rstudio.com/ide/server-pro/ has information on getting started.
• Binder:
    • You can use Jupyter+R or RStudio with Binder, https://github.com/binder-examples/r has some examples for this.
    • An alternative approach is using the holepunch package: https://karthik.github.io/holepunch/index.html
• Depending on how simple the script is (e.g. do you need external data?), https://rdrr.io/snippets/ might be an option.
• I’ve recently come across COCALC (https://cocalc.com/doc/r-statistical-software.html) which seems to have offer a Jupyter interface to R. It appears to have a free tier but I’m not 100% sure how it works.

Best,
Mine
