Abstract: The learnr R package provides a new multimedia approach for teaching statistics
and programming with R. Building on R Markdown, this package allows teachers to create
interactive tutorials containing narrative, figures, illustrations, and equations, code
exercises (R code chunks that users can edit and execute directly), multiple choice quiz
questions, videos, and interactive Shiny components. Tutorials built with this tool can be
used for checking and reinforcing students' understanding and have the benefit of
being self-paced and provide instant feedback. In this webinar we will demonstrate how to
use the learnr package to build interactive R tutorials and discuss best practices for
using them
