Yanina Bellini Saibene | On programming, teaching, and building tutorials with learnr | RStudio

Full title: On programming, teaching, and building interactive tutorials with learnr Teaching R is part of my activities as a community organizer, an RStudio Certified Instructor, a conference chair, and a researcher. Since 2019, I use the learnr package to generate interactive tutorials to teach R synchronously and asynchronously. The addition of the Tutorials panel in RStudio IDE and the need for virtual classes made the use of this package even more interesting. In this talk, I will tell you how to generate interactive tutorials, how to add pedagogical tools to them, what other packages you can use with {learnr} and show multilingual examples. About Yanina: Yanina Bellini Saibene is a researcher at INTA (National Institute of Agricultural Technology) dedicated to applying data science to the agricultural sector and a professor in several regional specializations about Digital Agriculture and Data Analysis. Yanina is formally trained as a Licenciate in Information System with a Master degree in Data Mining and Knowledge Management. She is an active member of the R Community as an R-Ladies organizer and part of the R-Ladies Global Team. She also is a co-founder and co-chair of LatinR and part of the organizing team of useR!2020 and user!2021 (co-chair). She is also co-founder of MetaDocencia, a open, free, volunteer-lead, not-for-profit educational organization and part of the teams that translate educational and technical material to Spanish

Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel | Feedback at scale | RStudio

As enrollments in statistics and data science courses grow and as these courses become more computational, educators are faced with an interesting challenge -- providing timely and meaningful feedback, particularly with online delivery of courses. The simplest solution is using assignments that are easier to auto-grade, e.g. multiple-choice questions, simplistic coding exercises, but it is impossible to assess mastery of the entire data science cycle using only these types of exercises. In this talk I will discuss writing effective learnr exercises, providing useful and motivating feedback with gradethis, distributing them at scale online and as an R package, and collecting student data for formative assessment with learnrhash. About Mine: Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel is Professional Educator and Data Scientist at RStudio as well as Senior Lecturer in the School of Mathematics at University of Edinburgh (on leave from Department of Statistical Science at Duke University). Mine’s work focuses on innovation in statistics and data science pedagogy, with an emphasis on computing, reproducible research, student-centered learning, and open-source education as well as pedagogical approaches for enhancing retention of women and under-represented minorities in STEM. Mine works on integrating computation into the undergraduate statistics curriculum, using reproducible research methodologies and analysis of real and complex datasets. She also organizes ASA DataFest and works on the OpenIntro project. She is also the creator and maintainer of datasciencebox.org and she teaches the popular Statistics with R MOOC on Coursera
