Description
Build, gather and organise courseware for teaching R based courses.
R is an amazing open tool for data analysis and visualisation, but it is known to have a steep learning curve for scientists and students that do not have a Computer Science background. Marcos started the Open Teach-R Project to help him to teach R to biological statistics students at his own university. He is gathering existing and creating new courseware for teaching R to biologists without computer science knowledge — he hopes to assimilate as many materials as possible into a single registry.

How can others contribute?
Marcos is looking for people to contribute classrooms materials (from slides to R scripts) that can be used for anyone teaching this course, as well as help with building a website for this resource. Contribute on GitHub or get in touch with Marcos by email.
