I am working on writing up my class notes for STAT 202 (Basic Statistics) into a document that I hope will eventually replace the textbook.
The PDF version that I used for summer 2016 is available here: The Data Professor's Guide to Basic Statistics.
The source TeX file for this document is here: basicstat.tex although other files are required which aren't yet posted.
What I want to discuss here is my plans to convert this document to HTML. This approach allows Shiny Apps and Graded Quizzes to be linked in. It also creates a modular organization which adds flexibility (mixing and matching of the components) when alternative textbooks are written.
Next Steps
Website navigation:
- Give each chapter its own Tufte handout document.
- Create a Table of Contents (TOC) which links to all chapters.
- Create a navigation bar on each page with a buttons for LAST CHAPTER, UP TO TOC, LAST CHAPTER. (RMarkdown does this but I don't know how this will work with Tufte Templates).
- Put all source files on GITHUB.
- Create one command to pull latest changes (in RMarkdown) from GITHUB and automake HTML files and PDF files, completely updating website.
- Put both PDF and HTML on TOC.
Shiny Apps:
- Put an image of Shiny App in document, have these images generated automatically from code for Shiny App.
- Have image linked to App, you can follow link from website or PDF reader, or copy from hard copy.
- Install Shiny Server on my desktop.
- Obtain a server or access to a server that is accessible outside AU.
Graded Homework:
- Explore systems that allow you do do this.
- Auto-generate an image of question which is linked to the app that allows you to answer question, and get an answer, auto-graded, or sent to instructor.
