A collection of interactive courses for the swirl R package, which teaches R programming and data science directly inside the R console. Courses range from beginner R programming to regression models, data cleaning, and statistical inference.

Use cases

• learn R programming interactively in the R console
• practice regression modeling in R
• learn data cleaning with dplyr and tidyr
• study statistical inference concepts like hypothesis testing and confidence intervals
• teach an R class with self-paced lessons
• author custom interactive R courses

When to choose

• you want to learn R or data science hands-on without leaving the R console
• you are a beginner seeking self-paced, feedback-driven R lessons
• you are an instructor wanting interactive in-class R exercises
• you want free open-source course content for statistics and R

When to avoid

• you need to learn languages other than R
• you want video-based or GUI-driven courses rather than console interaction
• you need a full learning management system with instructor dashboards
• you are not willing to install R (and ideally RStudio) first
