John Shorter organized a nicely structured R course and presented general insight into R, which is powerful language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. The course also provided familiarization with RStudio as an integrated development environment for R.

Each participant was able to run the RStudio on UCloud as an interactive application accessible through a standard web browser. The course materials prepared by John were shared with all participants through a specially created workspace on UCloud.

The course was spread over 3 days and it provided a knowledgeable journey to explore possibilities of R as well as UCloud during research tasks. There is also a startup guide, made as part of the course materials, showing how to access RStudio on UCloud.
