The most common use for the
tutorial.helpers package is to allow students to
download their answers after they complete a tutorial. To enable this
functionality, you need to, first, include
library(tutorial.helpers)
within the initial setup R code
chunk and, second, add this line at the end of the tutorial:
```{r download-answers, child = system.file("child_documents/download_answers.Rmd", package = "tutorial.helpers")}
```
When students complete the tutorial, they will first be asked how
long the tutorial took them to complete, in minutes. They will then be
presented with the option to download a copy of their answers, in html
format, to their Downloads folder. By default, the name of the
downloaded file will be the id
of the tutorial with
_answers.html
appended.
So, for example, a tutorial with an id
equal to
getting-started
will generate a file called
getting-started_answers.html
.
The package provides the function process_submissions()
to work with a collection of students answers. See
?process_submissions
for details.
