The University of Glasgow School of Psychology and Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology has "successfully made the transition to teaching reproducible research using R across all undergraduate and postgraduate levels" and has shared materials from their Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and more to the #PsyTeachR site. 

The curriculum "emphasizes essential ‘data science’ graduate skills that have been overlooked in traditional approaches to teaching, including programming skills, data visualisation, data wrangling and reproducible reports."

Learning Statistics with R
By: DJ Navarro

This textbook is published in full, online under a Creative Commons BY-SA license, and "covers the contents of an introductory statistics class, as typically taught to undergraduate psychology students... the book discusses descriptive statistics and graphing first, followed by chapters on probability theory, sampling and estimation, and null hypothesis testing. After introducing the theory, the book covers the analysis of contingency tables, t-tests, ANOVAs and regression. Bayesian statistics are covered at the end of the book."

Quantitude Podcast
@quantitudepod

"It's a podcast dedicated to all things quantitative, ranging from the relevant to the highly irrelevant. Co-hosts Patrick Curran and Greg Hancock talk about serious statistical topics, but without taking themselves too seriously. Think: CarTalk hi-jacked by the two grumpy old guys from the Muppets, grousing about quantitative methods, statistics, and data analysis, all presented to you with the production value of a 6th grade school project. But in a good way."
