DataCamp first to offer free interactive R tutorials and courses via the OpenIntro platform.
In one week, the ten-week Coursera course on Data Analysis and Statistical Inference by prof. Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel of Duke University comes to an end. At DataCamp it was one of our first experiences providing interactive R exercises on a large scale, and we’re proud to say this journey is coming to a successful end. (We’ll write a more detailed post on this in the near future.)For those of you who weren’t able to follow the course in the Coursera format, but still want to do the interactive exercises on DataCamp, there is now a great alternative: OpenIntro statistics. OpenIntro statistics is part of the OpenIntro project, and covers a wide range of educational materials on statistics such as videos, textbooks, and, as of now, interactive exercises by DataCamp. If you’re a student looking for a great introductory statistics course, or a teacher in need of a full-fledged teaching material package, the OpenIntro project is the place to go! (The OpenIntro project is an organisation focused on developing free and affordable education materials. OpenIntro statistics is their first project)
We’re happy to have been offered the opportunity to add our interactive R tutorials and courses to the high-quality OpenIntro curriculum. To us, it is again another step to increase the understanding and adoption of R in the data science and statistics world.We hope you will enjoy it!The DataCamp TeamNote: if you prefer to take the course via Coursera, a new session of the course has been announced and will launch September 1st 2014.
