Speakers
Description
At the Helmholtz Zentrum München we frequently run courses. Our courses consist of a mix of lectures and hands-on exercise sessions, often requiring the use of statistical programing software, such as R or Python, and exemplary datasets. Lecture slides are prepared as pdf documents, and exercises as both pdf and html format. Each file has a version for the instructor and one for participants. For each course, we therefore must manage multiple files in multiple formats and versions. The manual maintenance of such a high volume of files is impractical, time-consuming, and error-prone. Our solution is an integrated R Markdown pipeline: at the press of a button all the various formats and versions of our files are produced and compressed into a single ZIP-folder ready for distribution.
