The project FIT with Markdown aims at unlocking the potential of the publication language R-Markdown for data-oriented teaching and further education. Documents must be made F-I-T - flexible, interactive and sharable (teilbar) - for digital transformation, they must • be flexible in terms of output, take advantage of the full media diversity of the digital transformation, and enable a personalized and personalized learning experience; • provide more sophisticated insights into the database with interactive visualization than static PDFs, • be sharable (teilbar) among lecturers / students for collaborative teaching and further education.
Using R Markdown allows you to embed chunks of code directly into your project and generate plots and tables directly from the underlying data, avoiding copy-paste steps. This will get you into the habit of doing reproducible research, which benefits you long-term as a researcher, but also will greatly help anyone that is trying to reproduce or build upon your results down the road.
