We want to help our higher ed colleagues assess R as an alternative to increasingly expensive stat packages. To that end, Im looking for a handful of R experienced instructors who would be able and willing to assess an installation of R in a virtual computing environment. Based on feedback, we will enhance the installed image with additional resources, documentation, use cases and other information useful to those using R. We will provide free access to several instances of R running on Linux to support this assessment phase.
We ultimately will provide a low-cost service for institutions wishing to use R regularly in teaching and research. Longsight provides open source services to higher education. Our new *Open vLAB *service (http://www.longsight.com/files/vlab.pdf) uses the Apache Virtual Computing Lab software to allow faculty and students to access applications such as R from any location at any time using standard remote desktop protocols. Please contact us as [email protected] or reply to me if you are willing to help. Thank you very much.
