The learnr package makes it easy to turn any R Markdown document into an interactive tutorial. Tutorials consist of content along with interactive components for checking and reinforcing understanding. Tutorials can include any or all of the following:
-
Narrative, figures, illustrations, and equations.
-
Code exercises (R code chunks that users can edit and execute directly).
-
Quiz questions.
-
Videos (supported services include YouTube and Vimeo).
-
Interactive Shiny components.
Tutorials automatically preserve work done within them, so if a user works on a few exercises or questions and returns to the tutorial later they can pick up right where they left off.

Install the latest official learnr release from CRAN:
install.packages("learnr")
Or you can install the most recent version in-development from GitHub with the remotes package:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rstudio/learnr")
learnr works best with a recent version of RStudio (v1.0.136 or later) which includes tools for easily running and previewing tutorials.
