Institutional Research Analyst Georgetown University, United States
Session Abstract: R is an open-source and free technology that offers tools to wrangle, analyze, and visualize data in one platform, helping to streamline analytics work. For those interested in adding another tool to their institutional research toolkit, this workshop will provide basic and introductory training in R. In this workshop, participants will set up R and R Studio, will learn how R can be useful in their IR work, and will be introduced to R's analytic and visualization tools. Participants will practice using these tools with real-time coding throughout the workshop. The workshop will also introduce advanced uses of R, such as creating written reports and slides, for those interested in continuing their R journey beyond the workshop.
