Apart from data camp, what other web based R tutorials are there?
Oh I think I wasn't quite clear - I meant tutorials where you can run R in the browser (either via a server or webR). For users who haven't or can't run R locally!
@geospacedman my uni is working on creating these, including webr exercises.

I'm not sure how I feel, didactically, about using web-based repls. Installing and running things locally is quite an important thing to know in the scientific workflow (same reason I dislike Jupyter/colab).
But it's nice to be able to start understanding the language without the installation hassle.
@erikjan @geospacedman I see your point but cognitive overload is a thing, so is programming anxiety.
Sometimes you just want to introduce students to a language or a method or a specific concept, in which case spending half an hour if not more trying to explain how to install the tools is not productive and will make some students simply give up from the start.
@nicolaromano @geospacedman yes, good points!!
