Interactive Presentations

This is a project to create freely available financial education materials. The materials are interactive presentations written in RMarkdown and use Shiny for interactive the content. The presentations are hosted on shinyapps.io, and can be viewed by following the links below (all links have not yet been added).

Contributions are Welcome!

This initiative will be increasingly successful as more people from the finance community contribute. Presently, financial education materials are duplicated through separate efforts by individuals and organizations. This is particularly true for materials targeting the undergraduate level.

We hope to foster a community effort to create a set of finance education and course materials. Collaboration and attribution are managed through GitHub. In this way we can have tens and hundreds of people collaborating (each getting credit for their work), and thereby create unparalleled educational materials on many topics.

Ways to contribute.

You can contribute with very little knowledge of Git/GitHub, and no knowledge of R/Shiny. All you need is a GitHub account. The easiest way to start contributing is to use the edit-in-browser feature in each file. To use this click the the little pencil in the upper right of a file.

We are in the process of creating basic tutorials on contributing. We'll post them here, but you can also get started with GitHub's excellent list of documentation: https://help.github.com/articles/good-resources-for-learning-git-and-github/

If you are already familiar with Git/R/Shiny then feel free to jump in and add text and code!
