Interactive Tutorials with R Markdown

learnr: Interactive tutorials for R

The learnr package makes it easy to turn any R Markdown document into an interactive tutorial. Tutorials consist of content along with interactive components for checking and reinforcing understanding. Tutorials can include any or all of the following:

1. Narrative, figures, illustrations, and equations.

2. Videos (supported services include YouTube and Vimeo).

3. Code exercises (R code chunks that users can edit and execute directly).

4. Quiz questions.

5. Interactive Shiny components.

You can find documentation on using the learnr package here: https://rstudio.github.com/learnr/

FAQ

Error: Deployment Dependencies Not Found

If your tutorial contains broken code within exercises for users to fix, the CRAN version of packrat will not find all of your dependencies to install when the tutorial is deployed. To deploy tutorials containing broken exercise code, install the development version of packrat. This version of packrat is able to find dependencies per R chunk, allowing for broken R chunks within the tutorial file.

devtools::install_github("rstudio/packrat")

IE / Edge Support

learnr does not actively support IE11 and Edge.

• IE11 not receiving major updates, so I am not pursuing support for IE11.
• Edge is adopting chromium. Once updated, Edge should work out of the box with many more R packages (including learnr) and websites.
