Interested in learning more about R, Python, or Data Visualization with these tools? DataCamp is your best bet for comprehensive, clear and easy to access online training to help you learn these technologies at your own pace. While you can take some of the introductory courses for free, or pay for more yourself, Swarthmore College has arranged for a number of seats that we're happy to share with faculty and staff who would like to learn more within the DataCamp environment. Students can have access to DataCamp in the context of a course that is teaching R or something related that might be covered by DataCamp. Interested faculty need to set this up on a course by course basis with DataCamp directly. Contact Doug Willen (willen@swarthmore.edu, x7787) for more information, or for help with access to this resource.
DataCamp compliments our current offerings through LinkedIn Learning, which are generally geared towards a general software curriculum of the most popular software tools, with more specialized content on the R Data Analysis tool set, RStudio and RStudio Server (which Swarthmore also licenses for use with your classes) as well as Python and Data Visualization using these tools.
The general topics covered here include:
Programming
Importing & Cleaning Data
Data Manipulation
Data Visualization
Probability & Statistics
Machine Learning
Applied Finance
Reporting
Case Studies
and a few others
