Speaker
Full Abstract
In this first half of this workshop, we’ll help you get a WordPress site set up for course blogging and discussion with your students. We’ll help you install WordPress, discuss elements you may want to consider in the design of your site, discuss managing access and privacy, as well as share time saving tips and shortcuts! For the second half of the workshop, we’ll explore a shared space for data analysis and statistics by setting up R Studio on Reclaim Cloud. This combination of Reclaim Cloud and R Studio allows you to get an environment that can quickly be shared with anyone via the web!
