Learnr: Interactive R Tutorials: Jiena Mclellan

LearnR is an R package that allows users to create interactive R tutorials by executing R code in exercise chunks without pre-installing packages, documenting learning progress through customized quizzes and exercises, and inserting narratives, videos, and pictures to aid instruction. The document discusses how educators can use LearnR to have students interact with code concepts through previews and exercises while saving classroom time, and how students and self-learners can use it to systematically learn R through doing exercises and documenting the learning process.
