We will also provide an opportunity for the audience to experience computing in RStudio Cloud first hand, demo its newest features, and highlight a suite of ready to use resources for teaching R to new learners.

In this talk we will discuss pedagogical reasons for teaching computing with R on the cloud as well as share best practices and tips for setting up your learners for success on RStudio Cloud. RStudio Cloud is a lightweight and easy to set up / use solution to this problem. Circumventing the installation and setup steps early in the course by having students access R and RStudio in the cloud can minimize frustration and improve buy in. RStudio Cloud is a lightweight, cloud-based solution that allows anyone to do, share, teach and learn data science online. However a common friction point for getting students (and faculty) started with computing is installation and setup.

She helped create Cloud-Based Data Science-a free online educational program that helps anyone who can read, write, and use a computer to move into the data science field.Much has been written in the statistics and data science education literature about pedagogical tools and approaches to provide a practical computational foundation for students. Her research focuses on causal inference, human-data interaction, and data science pedagogy.Įllis is an assistant teaching professor in the cognitive science department at the University of California at San Diego, where she teaches data science and programming courses. McGowan is an assistant professor in the department of mathematics and statistics at Wake Forest University. Recorded 01-29-20, running time 56 minutes The workshop was recorded and is freely available to view. RStudio Cloud incorporates R without installation or a complex set-up. You dont need to own a server or know how to configure a firewall to deploy and manage your applications in the cloud. The workshop covered set up, implementation, and tips and tricks for integrating RStudio Cloud into your classroom. Lucy D’Agostino McGowan and Shannon Ellis recently presented a virtual workshop for introductory statistics instructors (high school or college) that focused on using RStudio Cloud in the classroom.
