R for Educators

We would like to share these resources with you:

1. The recording from the live workshop is a is available on CAC’s YouTube channel.

2. The workshop materials are available on GitHub and RStudio cloud. The .Rmd files are R notebooks with text explanations for the demos and hands-on portion of the workshop. You can use them with the workshop recordings or as self-paced tutorials.

   • The “Intro to R” (operators, functions, data types, data structures) is in 20_minutes_to_R.Rmd
   • The regression portion is in data-analysis-xsede-20220526.Rmd
   • We included a supplement demo showing how to use a few of the tidyverse packages to inspect a CSV file in examining_data.Rmd

3. We prepared some supplemental materials, which are available as PDF files on GitHub:

   • setup_cloud_demo.pdf describes how we created and set up the RStudio cloud project we used in the workshop. RStudio Cloud requires minimal setup for workshop participants and can be a good way to start using and evaluating R.
   • resource_sheet.pdf includes links to resources we mentioned in the talk and a few additional resources (including two free ebooks about R and some examples of how R can be incorporated in teaching).
   • R_for_educators_slides.pdf is the slides from the workshop.

4. The Cornell Virtual Workshop offers free, self-paced lessons covering a range of topics. Our R topic complements the material we covered in the webinar and addresses using R on multiple cores and on supercomputer infrastructure. The CVW R topic is available at https://cvw.cac.cornell.edu/R/
