Hi, I observed (helped out at) a SWC workshop once where RStudio was used for teaching. The big advantage was that the students could see the previous commands in the top left part (frame). This helped a lot in allowing students to catch up. The IPython notebook allows this to a certain extent, but with big output, an instructor needs to scroll up to show students that want to review previous commands.
I agree that the Rodeo feels in beta-stage, but I think it has great potential. In fact, I wish someone would make such an application to help teach the shell, where any output that is more lines than the terminal screen is long, makes previous commands get out of view...

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.

It's like rstudio for python. I'll be using this for the next few days, but so far I like it better than the notebook (at least for exploring data). I remember Greg being jealous of Rstudio has a teaching tool. Maybe we have a Python equivalent? http://blog.yhathq.com/posts/introducing-rodeo.html - Dan _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org
