Motivational Case Study Videos With R Analyses of the Data

Twenty motivational videos that focus on applied statistics are available on the University of Otago website. These are accompanied by data and lessons that are targeted at students in schools and universities that use GenStat software. The videos and lessons cover a range of techniques and have been popular with over 100,000 page visits since 2011. We outline transitioning the lessons to R software. R is freely available and widely used, including in the statistics curriculum at the University of Otago. The updated lessons are written using the Quarto package and are available online. Relative to static documents, no downloads are required, and the lessons offer new possibilities for interaction between the students and code.
