Abstract
The growing popularity of R has presented new challenges for educators as well as for new users. How do I teach R? What resources do I need to present before my students? And, what teaching strategies are recommended to teach R?
This tutorial session will discuss R from an educational standpoint, giving opportunities to learn and discuss new methodologies and new tools for teaching statistics, visualization and R programming language to students and new users. This session will also present MyReviewer as a new external peer review software tool for teaching R. Peer review has been established as an essential component in many professional practices, such as the scholarly publication process, but also as educational practice. The fundamental principle for peer review is that practitioners in any given domain appraise the professional performance, creativity, or quality of scientific work produced by others in their area of competence. This presentation will demonstrate MyReviewer as online tool for teaching R using peer review for evaluation of core educational competency and transparency.
