In rstudio/learnr: Interactive Tutorials for R

To create a tutorial, set runtime: shiny_prerendered in the YAML frontmatter of your .Rmd file to turn your R Markdown document into an interactive app.

For example, here's a very simple tutorial:

source("../../vignettes/articles/snippets.R")
insert_snippet("hello-learnr")

This is what the running tutorial document looks like after the user has entered their answer:
