Course Material Creation in the R Ecosystem
summary
A suite of three R packages aims to speed course creation: {demoR} renders code in knitted R Markdown with custom highlighting and formatting so slides and source stay reproducible; {shindig} generates skeleton Shiny apps and shortcuts so basic R users get working interactive demos without hand-writing boilerplate; {curricular} auto-generates syllabi, homework, exams and course folders using YAML-driven templates and is already used to build a consistent Introductory Statistics course with reported student outcome metrics and practical lessons learned.
