Recommendations for working with R tutorials in Positron?

[davidkane9]

I make extensive use of R tutorials when teaching introductory statistics. The Tutorial Pane in RStudio works well. Is there an equivalent in Positron? If not (and I certainly can't find one), what approach do people recommend? Again, I am teaching beginner students.

We don't currently have a specific tutorials pane, but you can run any learnr tutorial from the R console and interact with it then in our Viewer pane. For example, with:

learnr::run_tutorial("hello", package = "learnr")

You will get:

Thanks for the response. Commands like that are tricky for beginner students, many of whom have never typed anything in a Console.

Makes sense! As of today, I would say that RStudio is a better fit for students who aren't comfortable typing in the console but certainly in the longer term we are interested in how Positron can best be used for teaching.
