There are\ntwo main goals:\n\n- To focus tutorials on feats of skill or tasks to accomplish instead of\n  on specific packages or functions.\n- To use the same data whenever possible to avoid the cognitive load of\n  learning new data for each example.\n\nThere are two types of lessons:\n\n- [**JedR Trials**](trials/index.html): Short tests over specific skills. These trials are used by students in our J 327D Reporting with Data class.\n- [**JedR Training**](training/index.html): Tutorials focused on feats of skills instead of on\n  specific packages. For instance, “How to manage dates” vs “How to use\n  lubridate.”\n  \n## Installation\n\nJedR Padawans can complete these lessons online through the provided links, \nwithout additional setup. For those who prefer working locally, you can \n[download the repo](https://github.com/utdata/jedr-academy) to Render each notebook \ndirectly on your machine. The notebooks are organized in the `/trials` and \n`/training` folders.\n\n### Packages\n\nEnsure that you have the following packages downloaded as they are required for JedR \nAcademy to function properly.\n\n- tidyverse\n- gradethis\n\n### Quarto CLI\n\nDownload [Quarto CLI](https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/) for your corresponding operating system.\n\n### Quarto-Live\n\nOnce you open the repository, to use the `quarto-live` extension in your own documents, \nfollow the steps below using a Quarto project as the working directory:\n\n- Open the terminal in RStudio.\n- Paste the following command and run it:\n\n    ``` bash\n    quarto add r-wasm/quarto-live\n    ```\n\n- Follow the remaining prompts, and Quarto Live will be installed.\n\nFor more information, check out the [quarto-live](https://r-wasm.github.io/quarto-live/) documentation.\n\n## Data sources\n\nOur lessons are built around the Star Wars universe, primarily utilizing the \n[starwars](https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/reference/starwars.html) \"characters\" \ndata from the tidyverse package. To enhance these lessons, we've incorporated \nadditional Star Wars data, which can be found in the `/data` folder.\nThe starwars data from tidyverse offers a well-sized dataset that's both \napproachable and intricate, making it a valuable learning tool.

He began collaborating soon\nthereafter with [Dr. Jo\nLukito](https://journalism.utexas.edu/faculty/jo-lukito), an assistant\nprofessor also at UT JaM.\n\nOther contributors include:\n\n- [Christian\n  Overgaard](https://journalism.utexas.edu/graduate/profiles/doctoral/christian-staal-bruun-overgaard),\n  Doctoral student. He helped think through the project and wrote the \"Managing dates\" tutorial.\n- Tamara Rodriguez designed our JedR hex logo.\n- Johan Villatoro, a UT Journalism  undergraduate student, transitioned lessons and training into WebR.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Futdata%2Fjedr-academy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Futdata%2Fjedr-academy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Futdata%2Fjedr-academy/lists"}
