I briefly tried out Rodeo over the weekend.   It seems like a less polished
version of RStudio Server.  I suppose one major selling point is that it
could be installed on a server and then students could connect to the
server.  Then instructors wouldn't face the vagaries of installing
different versions, libraries, etc...  But I personally think it lacks many
of the features of a full powered IDE (breakpoints, debugging etc...) but
no serious advantage over iPython notebooks.  Personally I'd rather teach
in an iPython notebook, but if an instructor really wanted a clone of
RStudio, this is a pretty good approximation.
