RStudio Cloud for education

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

RStudio Cloud delivers the RStudio IDE in the browser so students skip local installs and everyone runs the same R, RStudio, and package set; projects, spaces with roles (admin/moderator/contributor/viewer) and assignments create permanent student copies automatically let instructors share starter work and copy whole course spaces for reuse. Admins can open and edit student projects, there is 1 GB RAM limit by project, default space caps (10 members, 25 projects) apply, and simultaneous collaborative editing is not supported.
