POSIT Cloud is used in data analysis focused courses where the R and Python scripting languages are the teaching subject. Students are invited to POSIT course spaces at the beginning of each semester at the convenience of the instructor.
After the semester has concluded, student users are removed from the course space and access to their work is restricted. Therefore, students wishing to preserve their work are strongly advised to take the following steps before the semester ends.
To Export and Preserve POSIT Cloud Code Projects for R:
1. In your course space, navigate to your project or projects
2. In the R Studio Project window, navigate to the Files window
3. In the Files window, click on the project files needed
4. In the Files window, click on the gear icon
5. On the More quick menu, select Export
6. In the Export Files window, rename the file (optional) and click Download
All of the selected files are now in a zipped file that can be unzipped and used on the personal machine. For long term storage, students are encouraged to consider saving their files on GitHub.
