Hello list: Perhaps this is not the appropriate mailing list for this question... I would like to encourage the use R in my statistic courses in an open university (distance learning).? In my webpage, I have written instructions on how to download and install R, how to download the semester's project data file, some basic commands on the console to get certain things done (descriptive statistics, linear regression, anova, etc.).? However, I find that some of my students get all tangled up in the process of setting up R and reading in the data files.? So my question is: Is there a way to "embed" an R console into a webpage, where the user can type in the commands and get instant results?
This is actually a frequently asked question (FAQ): http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#R-Web-Interfaces

Maybe try something like this http://www.askapache.com/ajax/php-and-ajax-shell-console.html ? But there will some security questions... The simplest way I see is OpenSSH + R + Putty (for Windows Users), but in this case you get some troubles with instant graphical output.
