He is working with us to develop the Data Science Specialization as well as software for interactive learning of R and statistics. Official swirl website: swirlstats.com On September 27, 2013, I wrote a guest blog post on Simply Statistics to announce the creation of Statistics with Interactive R Learning (swirl), an R package for teaching and learning statistics and R simultaneously and interactively. In the spirit of R and open source software, I shared the source code for swirl on GitHub. Today, I'm happy to announce the result of our efforts: swirl 2.0. Like the first version of the software, swirl 2.0 guides students through interactive tutorials in the R console on a variety of topics related to statistics and R. It's helpful to think of swirl as the synthesis of two separate parts: content and platform.
