\n\nThe goal of webex is to enable instructors to easily create interactive\nweb pages that students can use in self-guided learning. Although webex\nhas fewer features than RStudio’s\n[learnr](https://rstudio.github.io/learnr/) package, it is more\nlightweight: whereas learnr tutorials must be either hosted on a shiny\nserver or run locally, webex creates standalone HTML files that require\nonly a JavaScript-enabled browser. It is also extremely simple to use.\n\n## Installation\n\nYou can install webex from CRAN using:\n\n``` r\ninstall.packages(\"webex\")\n```\n\nYou can install the development version of webex from\n[GitHub](https://github.com/PsyTeachR/webex) with:\n\n``` r\ndevtools::install_github(\"psyteachr/webex\")\n```\n\n## Creating interactive widgets with inline code\n\nThe webex package provides functions that create HTML widgets using\n[inline R\ncode](https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/master/rmarkdown-2.0.pdf).\nThese functions are:\n\n| function | widget | description |\n| :---------------------- | :------------- | :----------------------------- |\n| `fitb()` | text box | fill-in-the-blank question |\n| `mcq()` | pull-down menu | multiple choice question |\n| `torf()` | pull-down menu | TRUE or FALSE question |\n| `hide()` and `unhide()` | button | solution revealed when clicked |\n| `total_correct()` | text | updating total correct |\n\nThe appearance of the text box and pull-down menu widgets changes when\nusers enter the correct answer. Answers can be either static or dynamic\n(i.e., specified using R code). Widget styles can be changed using\n`style_widgets()`.\n\nExamples are provided in the **Web Exercises** R Markdown template. To\ncreate a file from the webex template in RStudio, click `File -> New\nFile... -> RMarkdown` and in the dialog box that appears, select `From\nTemplate` and choose `Web Exercises`.\n\nAlternatively (or if you’re not using RStudio) use:\n\n``` r\nrmarkdown::draft(\"exercises.Rmd\", \"webex\", \"webex\")\n```\n\nKnit the file to HTML to see how it works. **Note: The widgets only\nfunction in a JavaScript-enabled browser.**\n\n $\"Creative$
