<h1>R for Education Research, Summer 2021</h1>
<h3>This page will be your primary source for class lectures, instructions, and sample data.</h3>
<p>This hands-on training covers how to use R, an open-source software package, for education research and modeling, with an emphasis on education finance data. Participants will: </p>
<ul style="list-style-type:circle">
<li>Learn best practices for importing and cleaning data and processing it into datasets.</li>
<li>Develop techniques for answering common research questions.</li>
<li>Visualize the analysis, and export the results as static or interactive tables, plots, and maps.</li>
<li>Create an interactive notebook or dashboard to share results in a visually compelling way using R Shiny or RPubs.</li>
<li>Complete and visualize a data project through a capstone that uses R to tie together skills learned in the course.</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Before the course</h2>
<p>We'll add other tools as we progress through the course, but for the first day you'll need to install and/or sign-up for:</p>
<ul style="list-style-type:circle">
<li>R programming language</li>
<li><a href="https://rstudio-education.github.io/hopr/starting.html" target="_blank">R Studio Desktop</a> to write in the R programming language in a more user-friendly way</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/" target="_blank">GitHub</a> to share files, read <a href="https://happygitwithr.com/github-acct.html" target="_blank" >this</a> before you create a GitHub account</li>
</ul>
<p>In order to make sure you have plenty of time to trouble-shoot any technical issues before the workshop, please sign up for a free GitHub account, and install R and RStudio on your computer by <b>EOD Tuesday, June 1</b>. If you have R and R Studio on your machine, please update your install to the current version of R and R Studio.</p>
<p>Instructors will be available to help with any technical issues on June 1, 10am to 12pm. You can email Sara Hodges with a description of your issue to schedule an installation help session during that time.</p>
<p>Then, download <a href="https://github.com/r-for-ed-2021/before_the-course" target="_blank" >this repository</a> by clicking on the green Code button on the upper right and selecting <i>Download ZIP</i>. </p>
<p>The tests folder has 2 scripts for you to run to check your R and RStudio installation. See the INSTRUCTIONS document in the same folder for detailed instructions.</p>
<p>Finally, email <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Sara Hodges</a> your GitHub username and the output from the scripts as described in the instructions.</p>
