Deploying learn R shiny app quiz in Rstudio Cloud

[bbitarello]

Hi everyone, I am using learn R for teaching. My code can be run in Rstudio Cloud and opens a shiny app, but then the file that students are running (the script) also contains the answer. Is there a way to run this in Rstudio Cloud (paid membership) in such a way that students cannot simply open the file and see the answers? Thank you

In short: No, there isn't a way to do this exactly on RStudio Cloud. That said, if you include your tutorial in an R package that you install into the student's RStudio Cloud project, the tutorial will show up in the Tutorials pane in RStudio. Technically students would still be able to find the source file, but it's much harder and they'd have to know where and how to look at it.

On the other hand, you can also deploy your tutorial to https://shinyapps.io where students will be able to access the tutorial but not see the source. See Publishing on shinyapps.io for more details

Thank you. Follow up question. If I do deploy it elsewhere is there a way to check identity? I want to use this as a graded for completion assignment, so I need to know who completed it. Thank you!
