Use rstudio shiny+flexdashboard to create random stats assignments
The flexTeaching app is an interface which allows the creation and deployment of lessons and assignments that include personalized random data, based on a random seed based on their student ID.
Students can download their personalized data sets and see the assignment. Assignment markers can obtain the solutions specific to that student using their ID plus the secret in use at the time the student downloaded the data set. Students can obtain solutions to exercises with other randomized data sets for practice.
New assignments can be built and placed in the assignments directory, and they will be automatically picked up by the app.
Benefits:
- Every student's assignment is unique
- Markers who know the secret can get the solutions to a student's exercises
- Students who do not know the secret can still generate an infinite number of practice exercises
- The student's practice exercises can include the solutions. The solutions can be hidden by the student until needed
