Online Workshop in Indonesia, December 21 to 23, 2020

Application of "R" Software for Statistical and Econometric Analysis in 2020, Indonesia: Level 1

From December 21 to 23, 2020, the workshop on " Application of "R" Software for Statistical and Econometric Analysis in 2020, Indonesia: Level 1" was held online using Zoom meeting platform due to the COVID-19 outbreak. This workshop was co-sponsored and organized by Risk Analysis Research Center, ISM, and University of Lampung, Indonesia. The participants learned about basics of the R software remotely using their own computers. On the first day, the participants learned about the basic commands for statistical analysis and data handling in R. On the second day, the participants learned about graphics in R. On the last day of the workshop, the participants learned about a single regression model. Although it seemed that there was a gap in proficiency among the participant, they were able to help each other by sharing their thought, ideas and commands through a chat tool. Also, it seemed that a chat tool made it easier for the participants to pose questions to instructors during the sessions. Although this was the first attempt to conduct the workshop remotely, various tools available in the online meeting application made the workshop interactive, lively and fruitful. All participants expressed interest looking forward to an event in the following year. The workshop ended successfully with a total of 141 participants. The workshop was run mainly by Prof. Bustanul Arifin of University of Lampung.
