Quarto and automation in teaching statistical computing
3:05 - 3:25
Abstract
In this talk we will discuss the use of GitHub actions and Quarto to provide automated feedback to students in a variety of statistical computing courses. These courses span the undergraduate and graduate curriculum and make use of both R and Python. The flexibility and power of the Quarto framework provide for the development of common tooling and workflows that can be adapted the specific needs of each course. We will provide concrete examples of how these tools are currently being used in these courses as well as discussing how they can be extended and adopted for new courses.
