The goal of campout is for instructors of a DataCamp course to easily begin converting their course into an alternative format that allows others to take their course without having to get a DataCamp subscription. Use this if you, for instance, want to distance yourself from DataCamp, had your course cancelled and still want the material to be available to others, or you disagree with other aspects of how DataCamp conducts themselves.
You can install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("lwjohnst86/campout")So far there is only one conversion to the learnr tutorials, with this function:
datacamp_to_learnr_pkg("path/to/data-camp-course",
# Folder the new material will be converted and saved to.
"path/to/new-learnr-package",
"Your name here")- Note: This roughly converts your DataCamp material to the learnr tutorial format… it is not perfect!! So please make sure to look through all your material before publicizing!
- Also note, so far the slides are only converted to a text document, they are not slides. If you have the original videos of the slides, you can insert the video link into the chapter documents, which will then include the video files for you in the tutorial.
